A nurse is engaging in the evaluation phase of community health program planning. Which of the following would be part of effective completion of this phase?
a. Demonstrate the ability to improve the health of the participants
b. Develop measureable objectives and goals before implementation
c. Encourage full participation by community members
d. Improve the health of the population through the program
ANS: B
Evaluation begins in the planning phase, when goals and measurable objectives are established and goal-attaining activities are identified. After implementing the intervention, only the meeting of objectives and effects of the intervening activities have to be assessed. Participation by com-munity members and improvement of the health of the population may be measured through the evaluation phase, but would not demonstrate completion of this phase. The evaluation phase may determine if the participants' health improved, but improvement of health is not part of the com-pletion of this phase.
