A nurse lives in a community that demonstrates commitment. Which of the following would most likely be supported within this community?
a. Creation of a community club by the city council to facilitate community involve-ment
b. Collaboration among area restaurant own-ers to develop healthier menus
c. Collaboration with the health department to build a new recreation center
d. Development of a cooperative agreement with a neighboring city to share needed services
ANS: C
Commitment to the health of the community requires a process of change at each appropriate level on the continuum. The most successful change processes often arise from collaborative practice models that involve the community and nurses in joint decision making. Participants must see themselves as part of a group effort and share in the process, beginning with planning and including decision making. Collaboration by restaurant owners to develop healthier menus only addresses one population of the community and does not show involvement by nurses and the larger community. Creation of a community club by the city council does not engage the larger community in this decision. Developing a cooperative agreement with a neighboring city does not show commitment between the members of both communities.
