Nurse-physician communication.
Nursing practice must be supported by current evidence. Based upon the scholarly evidence the student has gathered thus far in this course, a presentation will be created for your assigned topic for a hypothetical audience of nurse leaders. The RoL presentation must be in the form of a PowerPoint presentation. (This presentation may not be submitted as a paper written in paragraph form.) The RoL presentation will include a take-away message for an audience of nurse leaders, crafted through synthesis of the overall body of information the student has reviewed. The central idea of this RoL presentation should illustrate how a leader can use the information gained from the evidence the student has reviewed to deal with a management-related issue in the clinical setting.
The student will begin by presenting measurable participant objectives for the anticipated “audience member.” The student will then introduce the topic, and give a brief overview of its importance for leadership within the healthcare setting.
Introduce and review a minimum of five scholarly publications in the presentation. These may or may not be precisely the same five articles used for the Scholarly Publications assignment. Select the best evidence supporting the topic. In the student’s own words, a brief summation of the findings considered significant from these publications will be discussed with consideration for relevance to the assigned topic. The student may choose to list the publications on one slide, then address each source individually, or address components of the topic and pull in an appropriate source for related evidence.
The student will compose a collective synthesis/summary of what is supported by the literature reviewed to conclude the presentation. This should not be confused with an additional summary of the articles. The student will develop their final remarks by viewing the multiple sources as one collection of information on the topic. Concisely indicate the current status or impact of this issue on nursing leadership or management. Summarizing the overall, take-away message at the conclusion of the presentation is worth one quarter of the total grade. Therefore, one slide will not be sufficient to present your synthesis. After this synthesis, conclude the presentation with slide(s) containing references. Refer to the grading rubric that follows for more details on this section, as well as the entire assignment.
You must utilize the “Note page” located below the slide in PowerPoint where elaboration is required to guide the reader. This represents the equivalent of your “narration” of the contents of the slide, and should be used generously.
