A nurse using the CDC's Framework for Program Evaluation in Public Health has chosen the evaluation design in collaboration with program partners. Which evaluation activity represents the next step using the framework?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because preparing data collection tools is the next step after choosing the evaluation design in the CDC's Framework for Program Evaluation. This step involves determining what data needs to be collected, how it will be collected, and from which sources. It is crucial for ensuring that the evaluation process is systematic and the data collected is reliable and valid. Developing program goals and objectives (choice A) typically comes before choosing the evaluation design. Creating a logic model (choice B) is important but usually occurs before selecting the evaluation design. Sharing results with partners and the community (choice C) happens after the evaluation is conducted and the data is analyzed.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Correct Answer: B (Program goals and objectives have been met) Rationale: 1. Achieving program goals means the initial purpose has been fulfilled. 2. With goals met, continuing the program may not be necessary. 3. Further resources may be allocated to other programs. 4. Discontinuing a successful program allows for redirection of efforts. Summary: A: Partner support indicates sustainability, not discontinuation. C: Need for new funding sources does not necessarily warrant discontinuation. D: Insufficient information given to determine if this indicates discontinuation.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because soliciting another funding source demonstrates the nurse's effort in ensuring the sustainability of the community health program. By seeking additional funding, the program can continue to operate and benefit the community in the long term. Choice B is incorrect because relying solely on the same funding source may not guarantee long-term sustainability. Choice C is incorrect as decreasing the number of community partners may limit the program's reach and impact on the community. Choice D is incorrect as discontinuing the program due to lack of interest does not contribute to program sustainability.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because educating families about the scope of nursing practice directly promotes the profession. It empowers the public to understand the valuable role nurses play in healthcare. Lobbying for health care reform (A) is important but not directly related to advocating for the nursing profession. Serving as a volunteer for a state legislator's campaign (C) can be beneficial but may not specifically focus on nursing. Setting up a flu shot clinic (D) is a valuable service but does not directly advocate for the profession to the extent that educating families does.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Concisely present key issues within the first minute. This is the most effective communication skill when meeting with community partners as it grabs their attention and highlights the most important information quickly. By presenting key issues concisely, the nurse can engage the partners and convey the urgency of the situation effectively. B: Prepare an in-depth, detailed speech may overwhelm the partners with too much information and lose their interest. C: Providing a multipage fact sheet may be too overwhelming and time-consuming for the partners to digest during the meeting. D: Presenting facts and avoiding using client stories may make the information less relatable and impactful for the partners.
