Multiple Choice

A team of nurses and physicians at a community hospital were concerned about the lack of vaccinations among children being seen in the emergency department (ED) . They knew that in other states there had been an outbreak of measles and wanted to avoid it in their community. The team finally completed a community assessment using secondary data, including de-identified hospital data. The team members for the hospital had initially analyzed the data and came together to come up with a community diagnosis related to vaccination. Based on the first two parts of a community diagnosis, they had identified the problem, low vaccination rates, and the population affected, children and adolescents. The next two steps in the community diagnosis include:

• A)Identifying what resources are available and how to access additional resources.
• B)Identifying what the problem is related to and what evidence-based programs could be implemented to address the problem.
• C)Identifying what the problem is related to and how the problem is demonstrated.
• D)How the problem is demonstrated and how to engage further members of the community in program planning.
