Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Outcome evaluation measures whether the program activities changed the initial reason for the program. Impact or summative evaluation is concerned with the immediate impact of a program on a target group. Process or formative evaluation answers the question: Are we doing what we said we would do? Some authors make a distinction between formative and process evaluation by using process to denote evaluation conducted during the program, whereas formative may be applied at formative or preprogram stages.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The nurse is evaluating progress when asking the question Are program activities following the intended plan?; relevancy when asking the question Is there a need for the program?; cost efficiency when asking the question What are the costs of a program?; and effectiveness when asking the question Were program objectives met?
