Which of the following roles supports processes to empower clients in managing their health?

Question

a. Consultant
b. Facilitator
c. Collaborator
d. Coordinator

Answer 1

B
As a facilitator, the community health nurse supports processes that build capacity among par-ticipants, rather than those that direct or control decision making. Enabling encourages client participation and experiential learning.
As a consultant, the nurse involves not only clients, but also community members, care providers, professionals from other disciplines, members of other sectors, policymakers, and government.
As a collaborator, the nurse promotes recognition of interdependence, collective responsibility, and negotiated equity in relationships.
As a coordinator, the nurse works with clients and diverse agencies to coordinate or organize ac-tivities, resources, access, and care in order to promote client health.
