Abstract
The family involvement in advanced scenarios, such as cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation (CPCR), can become a key element in the care for patients at imminent risk of dealth and allows for a more humane approach to the context of resuscitation. However, there are various debates grounded on the perceptions of the nursing staff, the family and the patients who have survived, as they are the three actors involved in this scenario. Therefore ,this paper analyzes these perceptions in order to recognize the family as fundamental part in the patient’s clinical course; promote the development of a bond between the family, the team and the patient; and encourage greater acceptance of the reality of death and its grieving process. Thus, the nurse practitioner is the best-suited individual to offer support and guidance for the family at that time.
