a. To assist with developing the evaluation measures for program planning
b. To clearly describe the strengths and weaknesses of the community
c. To lead to the outcomes and strategies to address and improve the identified health problem
d. To increase the likelihood that the problem will be solved
ANS: C
The community nursing diagnosis, no matter which classification system is used, leads to ex-pected outcomes and evidence-based health promotion strategies to address and improve the problem identified in the diagnosis. This becomes the nursing care plan. The expected outcomes and evaluations derived from the nursing diagnosis systems suggest subsequent evaluation measures for identified needs or problems. A community assessment describes the strengths and weaknesses of a community. The likelihood of solving a problem is not influenced by writing a community nursing diagnosis.
