Community collaboration. The nursing administrator's role in implementing a child abuse prevention program.
The increasing incidence of child abuse is a national disaster. One proposed intervention is prevention through a public health nurse home visitation program developed and extensively researched by David Olds. Selected components of the conceptual model of community collaboration developed by Polivka are applied to the implementation process. The role of the public health nursing administrator in collaboration, human resource management, and delegation is discussed.
