Question

A PHN employed by the state's department of health is working on a team to develop local health policy. The nurse recognizes that policy development focuses on the level of the larger society and adopts strategies that require political actions such as lobbying and testifying. The reason that action in the policy arena comes most easily and naturally to nurses is the fact that the policy process is very similar to which of the following? A. Citizen action committee B. Nursing diagnosis C. Nursing process D. Socratic method

Answer 1

C. Nursing Process

Step-by-step explanation:

The nursing process involves assessing a situation, diagnosing issues or needs, planning interventions, implementing those interventions, and then evaluating the outcomes. Similarly, the policy process involves identifying issues, conducting research and analysis (assessment), formulating policy options (diagnosing), planning and advocating for policy changes (interventions), and assessing the impact and effectiveness of the policy (evaluation). Both processes share similarities in their systematic approach to problem-solving and addressing societal or healthcare issues.
