Effective communication is a pillar of ethical and professional nursing practice. In complex care situations,coordination and unified messagingare vital to support family understanding and reduce distress.

“When families express confusion or frustration due to inconsistent communication, it is the nurse’s responsibility to advocate for a coordinated approach by facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration and clarity of plan.”

(Referenced from CCRN Pediatric – Professional Caring and Ethical Practice: Communication and Advocacy)

Arranging a team meeting promotes collaboration, consistency, and ensures that the family receives accurate, unified information.
