description Family members are an important but often underappreciated resource in caring for hospitalized older adults. Here, Messecar et al presents the Family Preferences Index, a 14-item approach to exploring caregivers' personal choices for participating in the care of hospitalized older adult family members. It can be administered as a structured interview or as a questionnaire. Higher scores indicate a greater preference to participate in care. The nurse can use the responses to the index to plan care that builds a partnership with the family.
