A nurse has completed a community health project. Which of the following actions must be performed by the nurse? (Select all that apply.)
a. Ask for media coverage of the project to maximize public relations
b. Ensure that adequacy and appropriateness of the intervention are measured
c. Be certain the efficiency and cost benefits are measured
d. Collect statistics for careful analysis
e. Communicate follow-up recommendations to the community
f.
Write a comprehensive report on the project to be distributed to anyone interested
ANS: B, C, E
A summative evaluation includes measurement of adequacy, appropriateness, efficiency, and cost-benefit measurements. The intervention will have limited impact unless follow-up recommendations are communicated to the aggregate on completion of the project. Media coverage may or may not be helpful, depending on the project and the intervention. Statistics are useless unless carefully chosen to reflect measurement of objectives. Reports are often shelved without being read, so only those immediately involved should have both input into any report and a copy of the outcome findings.
