Practice Question
The public health nurse (PHN) is working to improve a local urban neighborhood in their community. The nurse forms a team with other community residents. They meet and agree that their one priority goal is to increase the access to education. They set up a plan to work with local contractors to demolish the buildings and turn them into schools. The PHN utilized what method in this scenario?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Community organizing
Rationale:
💠 Community organizing is the process of bringing community members together to identify common concerns, set goals, and take collective action to create change.
💠 In this scenario, the PHN collaborates with residents to set a priority goal (education access) and develops a plan for action (demolishing buildings to build schools).
💠 The emphasis is on empowering the community, mobilizing resources, and creating sustainable solutions.
💠 Community consultation is more about seeking input without full collaboration.
💠 Group reflection focuses on discussing experiences, and community surveillance relates to data collection and monitoring, not action planning.
