The community health nurse is working with a community health program. What type of evaluation is important to use in revising a community program?
A) Effective
B) Impact
C) Summative
D) Formative
Ans: D
Just as the community members were part of assessment, analysis, planning, and implementation, so too they must be partners in evaluation. It is critical to have created a participatory process. Formative evaluation answers the question: Are we doing what we said we would do? Based on the formative evaluation, revisions can take place. Impact (or summative) evaluation is concerned with the immediate impact of a program on a target group. Effective is not an evaluation type.
