There is often an impatience and eagerness associated with new programs, often forgetting the initial reason for implementing the program was to improve health
Considering this, when evaluating the overall effectiveness of the program, the nurse must consider which of the following?
A) How many participated in the program
B) Short-term health improvements
C) Public marketing within the community
D) Sustainability of the lifestyle change
Ans: D
The initial reason for implementing a new program, improvement of health, is often forgotten in the excitement of the new program. Considering that fact, sustainability of the lifestyle change is the primary criteria for evaluating success. How many participate, short-term health improvements, and public marketing are parts of the implementation process but will not affect the long-term health of the participants unless there is sustainability of the program.
