Community Organizing Participatory Action Research - a process by which a community identifies its needs and objectives, develops confidence to take action 28. Community Organizing Participatory Action Research - is an important tool for community development 29. Pre-entry phase - initial phase of the organizing process 30. Entry phase - sometimes called the social preparation phase, actual entry 31. key persons - approached by most people 32. opinion leader - approach by key persons 33. isolates - never or hardly consulted 34. Organization building phase - entails the formation of more formal structures 35. Sustenance and strengthening phase - occurs when the community organization has already been established 36.

Implementation - continuation of care during hospitalization until discharge. 40. Evaluation - final step of the nursing process. 41. Omaha system - Omaha Visiting Nurse Association 42. Shuster and Goeppinger - a format of nursing diagnosis for population groups 43.
