AbstractEncouraging family presence during resuscitation is controversial. Health care providers should use evidence-based practice to review this issue and be open to the idea of allowing the family to be present. The literature supports family presence during resuscitation and there is insufficient research in opposition to family presence. Health care institutions should revise their practices to coincide with the wants and needs of their patients and families. Nurses have an ethical obligation to intervene and create family presence programs.
