Practice Question
A nurse and a community team are using the nominal group planning method to analyze community-level data. Which of the following is true about nominal group planning?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Nominal group planning involves group consensus before prioritizing data.
Rationale:
🔷 Nominal Group Technique (NGT) is a structured group process used to generate ideas and achieve group consensus through a step-by-step approach.
🔷 Each member independently lists ideas, which are then shared one at a time in a round-robin format—this limits the influence of dominant individuals and ensures equal participation.
🔷 After discussing and clarifying the listed ideas, the group ranks or votes on the items, and consensus emerges through this structured prioritization, not from authority.
🔷 It is particularly useful in community health settings where multiple perspectives must be considered, and democratic decision-making is preferred.
