The grammar is fine. She should be capitalized. The meaning is a mystery.

She would always accurately and promptly recommed temporary or permanent actions for a resolution.

I think the noun "resolution" needs a determiner as I have done..

Not unless you understand the meaning of the sentence better than I do, Believer. Resolution is also the uncountable process, so that the final phrase actions for resolution = actions to be resolved.

It can certainly take the article a, but it needn't.

Thank you, MisterM.

I was looking at my friend's Collins/Cobuild Advanced learner's dictionary and nowhere in it does it say that the word "resolution" is an uncountable noun. Now, would you say that even a great, great dictionary of this caliber can omit some pertinent infomation such as the one above? Where can I go to get that string of information?

Absolutely. The Learner's Dictionary is not even very comprehensive, as monolingual dictionaries go. My Merriam-Webster's Collegiate does not even indicate countability; the user is expected to figure it out by usage. No single dictionary or lexicon can contain all the 'pertinent' information about a language's word horde. The student must attempt to find out many thing
