The local nursing association is looking for a community project to address disease prevention. Melissa has approached the officers with her concern. What AP roles, core competencies and support are needed to make this happen?

For Melissa’s community project to address disease prevention, the local nursing association will need to utilize multiple AP roles and core competencies. First, a leader is needed to provide vision and direction for an initiative. To effectively communicate their strategies and goals, leaders should have excellent communication skills. Also, leaders should have the ability to advocate when they need funding, resources or support.

Second, a manager can be tasked with working alongside staff or volunteers in order to create concrete plans for projects and make sure they are implemented effectively. To identify potential problems and find solutions, managers must be able to solve them. They must also have a good sense of organization to track timelines, achievements, and potential problems.

Finaly, an evaluator is needed to determine if the project has achieved its goals. To do this, they need to be familiar with research techniques such as questionnaires or interviews that can help collect data.

It is also important for the nursing association to have access to administrators of relevant agencies, such as government or non-profit organizations that can provide funds and other assistance towards the successful completion or the project plan.
