The health ministry in your faith community provides ongoing health promotion and disease prevention outreach to congregants within the context of their faith tradition, and to the community. As the director of health ministry, you are a DNP with many years of experience in acute care, faith community nursing, and community health.

The DNP also participates in a regional health ministry organization that often collaborates on projects. The other faith community nurses feel there is not enough being done to prevent bacterial pneumonia, and the mortality associated with pneumonia and influenza, and want to pursue a grant to provide vaccinations in each of their faith communities.

The DNP educational program instilled rigor for the DNP Essentials . . . so the DNP knows there must be more than a “feeling” before embarking on a journey to address influenza and pneumonia prevention using EBP with the goal to reduce mortality.
