What is the nurse’s role in providing input for the design of this healthcare program? Can you provide examples?
As a nurse, my role in providing input for the program’s design includes conducting actual education. This part of the advocacy responsibility cannot be fulfilled without goals, a needs analysis, and an assessment of the target population. Therefore, my fellow nurses and I must first look at the children population and identify the vaccinations that have been most affected since COVID-19 began. The second step will be to obtain information from patients regarding issues that may have led to the current situation. Then, goals for the entire program will be created after establishing the caregiver’s level of awareness regarding vaccinations. The process of information sharing or instruction will kick off, where nurses will provide information regarding their observations, the potential impact, and the proposed solutions. This step will also require nurses to demystify any myths that may function as hindrances to increased vaccination uptake. Finally, the nurses will monitor the program’s outcomes and compare these to the goals.
