A community-oriented nurse seeks to implement EBP in the community clinic's programs. The best model for the nurse to apply is:

• A. Action Research and Review.
• B. Community Development.
• C. Community Research Utilization.
• D. EBP.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is using a model that actively builds the community’s capacity to use evidence in ways that fit local needs and sustain improvement. Community Development fits best because it centers on engaging community members, leaders, and organizations in partnership to identify problems, plan interventions, mobilize resources, and evaluate impact. This approach ensures that evidence-based practices are not just imported from outside but adapted to the community context, values, and available resources, leading to feasible, acceptable, and lasting programs in the clinic and beyond.

While other models involve research or applying findings, they don’t emphasize the broad, collaborative development of the community’s own capacity to implement and sustain evidence-informed changes as effectively as Community Development.
