The nurse in the community wants to implement a new program. To be more certain of success, the nurse should be sure to use which primary step in implementing a unified program?
A) Bring together the agency and the target population.
B) Use a piecemeal approach to emphasize each piece.
C) Emphasize the agency involvement to get everyone excited about the change.
D) Widely publicize the program immediately before implementation.
Ans: A
A unified program requires collaboration and coordination between the agency personnel who will implement the program. Bringing together the agency and the target population will enhance the success of the new program. Implementing a piecemeal approach minimizes the impact of the program. Allowing plenty of time for publicizing the program is crucial to whether people attend and the programs have an impact. Emphasizing the program itself, not the agency involved, will increase the impact of the program.
