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. The first role is that of a leader, who can provide direction and establish vision for the initiative. Leaders should also have strong communication skills in order to effectively explain their goals and strategies. Additionally, they should be able to take on an advocacy role by advocating for funding, resources, or support from external entities when needed.

The second role is that of a manager, who can work with staff members or volunteers to develop concrete plans and ensure effective implementation of projects. Managers must possess problem-solving capabilities in order to identify any potential issues before they arise and develop solutions accordingly. They should also be organized in order to keep track of timelines, milestones achieved, potential challenges faced etc.

Finally, the third role is one of an evaluator who can assess if desired outcomes have been achieved or not; this requires knowledge regarding research methods such as surveys or interviews which are used for data collection purposes In addition to these three roles, core competencies such as cultural sensitivity and knowledge pertaining public health initiatives/disease prevention will also be necessary in order for this project to succeed.

Lastly it is important that the local nursing association has access to adequate support from administrators from relevant government agencies or other organizations which may assist in providing funds or further help towards successful completion of the proposed project plan.
