Empowerment through participation has three essential components to which nurses must be sensitive in order for community transformations to occur. Which statement best describes one of the essential components?
A) Shared awareness by members of the health care community
B) Mechanisms to mobilize the community to recognize its needs
C) Suggest ways to develop a culture of community participation.
D) People have the right to choose.
Ans: D
Participation is an active process, not a process in which one group or organization imposes its values on the community, but a process of mutuality, in which all have voice. Participation involves choice, implying people have the right and the power to make decisions that affect their lives. Decisions made through participation must have the potential to be effective, and there must be social systems to allow decisions to be implemented.
