Purpose

purpose of this assignment is to explore your values and beliefs related to
family nursing and family health promotion and to consider how they impact decision-making

values and beliefs through critical reflection, assumptions in practice can be
challenged to facilitate a preliminary shift in attitude, which is part of
transformational learning (Melrose, Park, & Perry, 2013).
