This situation impacts every individual; Susie, her family and elderly and chronically ill mother. Along with that, nurses should provide information about community resources to Susie and her family to facilitate in providing care. To assist this family in overcoming with changing situation, nurses can use the family structural theory to identify current interaction patterns, behavior, and activities of the family. During the family assessment, the nurse should focus on family roles, capacity to face changes, illness, or crisis. So that nurse can provide family teaching about role changes that need to be made by each family member. For instance, Susie has to look after her three school-aged children and chronically ill elderly mother as well which can be overwhelming.to her mother and keep the family functioning.

Nurses should assist Mrs. Jones in coping with her illness and new family too. Susie’s Children should also encourage to be involved in the family discussion to adapt and face the changing situation.

     The developmental theory can be used in this family simultaneously by assessing the new responsibilities in various aspects of progress and success in caring the elderly mother by Susie and her family. As family enters in the new developmental stage, it presents opportunities for health promotion and intervention as the family moves through new stages as a result of the event (Huerta, 2013).

Health education as well is an important factor in helping this family to prepare for the role changes by providing education in caring chronically ill elderly mother with focusing on safety, nutrition, infection, and bedsore. In addition, nurses need to provide education on other resources such as obtaining services required to assist in caring the elderly and provide information to Susie, her family, and mother as the coping mechanism which helps to enhance health promotion.

Basically, such cases of child abuse, domestic violence among other evil things are on the verge of increase in our families all across the world. Research has proved it that majority of families are facing hard times in sorting out their family issues, something which has majorly contributed to increased cases of abuse. Medical practitioners also have brought out the fact behind their worries relating to the same issue (Yawn, Yawn, & Uden, 1992). Most of the cases they handle in the daily operations are related to either child abuse or any kind of domestic violence. Certain known characteristics are utilized by these medical practitioners in the health sector to investigate and come to a conclusion that the client is actually a victim of the same issue in question.

             In the case where anyone has been facing any kind of abuse may it be physical or emotional, they will exhibit characteristics which will speak it loud and reveal the abnormality of their situation. To start with, for child abuse, the child will show signs of fear even in the presence of the service provider; he or she will have a sense of uncomfortable, they will feel lonely even in the presence of their less caring parents. Also, they will exhibit such behaviors like being worried as their abusers are still a threat to them, difficulties to understand concepts when it comes to class work, less interaction with others and difficulties in communication and lastly, they will face a lot of struggle ensuring good relationships with the same abusive parents. For elder people, they will almost exhibit the same characteristics but in a way slightly different from children since they are in a better position to control their emotions (Malley-Morrison, & Hines, 2004). As a healthcare facility, we have put in place certain frameworks enable victims of either domestic or child abuse to feel free and report the issue for solutions to be achieved. To start with, we have majored in creation of awareness of the rights of each citizen and provoking them not to feel ashamed about the same, but to be free and share them with the necessary bodies, also, we have as well done our investigations on any victim presented to clearly identify the extent of the matter and pretend any future occurrence by taking the necessary measures.
