An adolescent is being seen in the clinic to discuss health promotion behaviors. What should the nurse include in the evaluation of the plan?
1. Effectiveness of the plan, and methods to expand and sustain successful approaches
2. The adolescent's attitude on how the adolescent perceives health
3. Instruction on what is considered healthy behavior
4. Advising the adolescent that promoting health behaviors will maintain a healthy lifestyle
1
Rationale:
1. When establishing youth programs, whether with individual adolescents or with groups, the nurse includes evaluation of the effectiveness of the plan and methods to expand and sustain successful approaches.
2. Including the adolescent's attitude toward health has little to do with evaluating the success of the plan.
3. Instruction on healthy behaviors would be included in the implementation phase of the plan.
4. Advising why promoting healthy behaviors is important is part of the implementation phase of the plan.
