Detailed knowledge of the family dynamic, family resources, and identified needs can help a transplant team work together with the family to ensure the success of transplantation. This chapter details areas of exploration when assessing a patient for transplant. This information should be obtained prior to transplant and should be assessed in the posttransplant period as well to monitor for changes. The involvement of the patient in these discussions must be based on the patient’s age and developmental status.
