Participation and Partnership

- Successful partnerships require being informed, flexible, and open to negotiation.
Community Nursing Diagnosis
- Three components are:
- Risk of: Assessing strengths and challenges.
- Among: Identifying the target population.
- Related to: Understanding knowledge and motivation levels.
