Question

CASE STUDY: The nurse educator is asked to complete a program evaluation for a public health initiative at a local health clinic. The clinic is unsure whether the program was successful or if it should continue. The program was conducted over one year with IRB approval. There were 148 participants, each of whom gave informed consent. The initial program design was based on existing research and intended to improve patient education and adherence to medication recommendations. Data were collected throughout the program, and program goals and objectives were developed, but a formal evaluation plan did not exist. Data included valid and reliable literacy screenings of all participants, self-reported medication adherence in monthly intervals throughout the year, and pre-posttest comprehension evaluations regarding the medications. QUESTIONS 1. Which types of data should the nurse educator consider when designing the evaluation? (SELECT ALL THAT APPLY.) A. Evidence-based practice. B. External evidence. C. Internal evidence. D. Practice-based evidence. E. Quality improvement. 2. Which type of evaluation should the nurse educator perform? A. Content. B. Impact. C. Outcome. D. Process.

Answer 1

1. Which types of data should the nurse educator consider when designing the evaluation? (SELECT ALL THAT APPLY.) A. Evidence-based practice. B. External evidence. C. Internal evidence. D. Practice-based evidence. E. Quality improvement.

In this case the nurse educator can use all the things listed above as a method evaluation

Evidence based practice it is first and for most thing in the practice, whether the person follows any evidence for the practice or there is any literature support especially RCT for his practice

External evidence it can be any other out come measure in the evaluation, it can be seen in the patients out put who got the treatment from there.

Internal evidence the doctor itself gives the support for evaluation, then it will be internal evidence in this case.

Practice based evidence we can see the changes in the practice

Quality improvement this can be will formed tool for the evaluation

1. Which type of evaluation should the nurse educator perform? A. Content. B. Impact. C. Outcome. D. Process.

The nurse educator has to perform an outcome evaluation, because all the evaluation were happening after the process and everything so out come evaluation is the one which can be evaluated here.
