<title><![CDATA[Medical-Surgical Nurses Can Be Advocates For Family Presence During Resuscitation]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Typically, family members are not allowed in a patient's room during resuscitation efforts. Physicians and nurses who oppose having family members in the patient room say their presence can cause distractions, violate patient confidentiality, create crowding and increase liability.
