Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. Effective program objectives must be measurable, precise, time-specific, reasonable, within group capability, legal, congruent with community morals and values, carry minimal side effects, and fit budget limitations. The objective which states 75 of program participants will lose weight is not precise and is not time-specific. The objectives which states 100 of program participants will understand the new food pyramid by the end of the second week is not measurable; it does not state how one would measure the understanding. The objective which states 50 of program participants will quit smoking is not time-specific.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. The first step in the program planning process is defining and prioritizing the issue to be addressed. Then the planning group is created, the issue is analyzed, the program is developed, and the stage is set for the evaluation.
