Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. A final measure of the effectiveness of community empowerment efforts would be the extent to which community members are included in policy making. The ultimate goal of effective community organizing and empowerment should be the inclusion of community members in every aspect of policy making. Not overspending, having reliable data, and meeting time schedules are not the best final measures of the effectiveness of community empowerment.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. The operation stage of group development is analogous to the implementation stage of the nursing process. It is during this stage that the group assigns and performs specific roles and tasks to achieve group-designated goals and objectives. The orientation stage of group development is analogous to the assessment stage of the nursing process as is the accommodation stage to planning and the dissolution stage to evaluation.
