to implement your care plan, so begin small—say, one or two families, or a small group of 5–10 people.

The first step to effective implementation is planning. As you go about this task, answer the following questions:

What small group have you selected (for example, three families with young children, a group of five AIDS patients, and so on)? What made you select this particular group?

What portion of the plan would you like to implement in the small group?

What health risk do you expect to tackle by implementing this intervention?

What results do you expect?

How do you plan to implement this intervention? Do you have any specific strategy in mind? What resources will you need?

How long do you think it will take for the results to be seen?
