ANSWER-Meet with group leaders and clarify expectations
-determine sociodemographic characteristics (distrubtion of age, sex, and rate)
- Gather information and interview a key informant
-consider postive and negative factors
- compare aggregate with the "norm"
-research potential problems
-identify health problems and needs
- prioritize the identified problems and needs to create an effective plan
What are the factors for determining priorities? - ANSWER-Aggregates preferences
-Number of individuals affected by the health prob
-severity of the health need/problem
-availability of potential solutions
-practical considerations (skills, time limitations, and available resources)
-Maslow's hierarchy of needs or Leavell and Clark's level of prevention to further refine
priorities
What is an essential component of health planning? - ANSWERcommunity involvement
What are the steps 3 steps in the planning process? - ANSWER1. determine
intervention levels
2. plan interventions for each system level
3. validate the practicality of the planned interventions according to available resources
What are the different intervention levels? - ANSWERSubsystem, aggregate system,
and/or syprasystem
, What is the difference between goals and objectives? - ANSWERGoals are where we

Describe objectives - ANSWER-Measurable
-specific measures used to determine whether or not the nurse is successful in

When are interventions more successful? - ANSWERwhen the aggregate have input
into determination of the need
