Dr. Patricia Young and Dr. Norma Krumwiede, who are faculty members at Minnesota State University, Mankato (USA), created as a family nursing teaching resource the Family Construct Poster Presentation Assignment. This assignment is designed for first semester undergraduate nursing students and can be edited to combine any topic with a family construct for students to explore the literature further and demonstrate professional presentation skills. This example combines the use of family constructs with genetic conditions and how families are affected.
