How does the EAQ address the comfort of family members?

The inclusion of questions about family stressors and support needs directly addresses the comfort of family members in a comprehensive manner. It's essential to recognize that the well-being of patients often extends beyond their individual experiences to encompass the dynamics and challenges faced by their families. By assessing family-related issues, the EAQ acknowledges that family members may experience stress related to their loved one's health condition, and it seeks to identify areas where additional support may be beneficial. This holistic approach emphasizes the importance of considering the family unit in care strategies, as enhancing family comfort can significantly contribute to patient recovery and overall quality of care.

The other options do not align with this understanding of holistic care. Ignoring family-related issues would overlook critical aspects of support. Focusing solely on medical history would miss important psychosocial factors that impact both the patient and their family. Offering a separate questionnaire may not be as effective as integrating family issues directly into a comprehensive assessment that considers the interconnectedness of both patient and family comfort.
