About the Pediatric Nursing Genogram
This pediatric nursing genogram combines family structure, health patterns, and supportive relationships to create a child-centered view for assessment and coordinated care.
The example maps 10 people across three generations of the Carter, Bennett, and Evans families. The oldest generation includes Michael and Susan Carter, and Linda and Peter Bennett. Rachel Bennett, Daniel Bennett, and Mark Evans appear in the adult generation, while Leo Bennett, Noah Bennett, and Mia Evans form the children’s generation. Peter Bennett is marked deceased.
The example includes a divorce and a current marriage, along with full- and half-sibling labels. Green relationship lines highlight close family connections. Colored health overlays correspond with the legend for hypertension, diabetes, and asthma, helping users view the child’s immediate care context alongside relevant family health history.
