Nurses as Change Agents in the Community

In the chapter, "How Community-Based Organizations Are Addressing Nursing's Role in Transforming Health Care," the authors describe the community as the focus of advocacy action for change. They list a series of questions that help community teams develop organizing principles to guide their interventions, and the aim is to attack social determinants of health to make community change.

Discuss at least two factors that would facilitate the development of the walkways.
