The most important step in the planning and evaluation process is writing program objectives. The purpose of having objectives is to:
 
  1. Give the speaker specific topics to cover
  2. Provide direction for conducting the program
  3. Provide an enriching experience for participants
  4. Formulate a mission statement.

Question 2

Parish nursing involves professional issues that include assessments and evaluations of services needed. The parish nurse must be knowledgeable about:
 
  1. How clergy are trained and their areas of expertise
  2. The economic status of the parishioners and their ability to pay the parish nurse
  3. The policies and procedures of the religious order in which they practice
  4. Lines of authority and channels of communication in the faith community
