Discussion: Use high level clinical judgement

Describe how the two concepts impact the nurses’ need to use high level clinical judgement: this assignment, you will choose two (2) of the course concepts that were discussed this term and create a 10 slide professional visual PowerPoint presentation. NOTE: The 10 slides do not include the title slide or reference slide.

First, pick two (2) course concepts from the list below:

Safety

Healthcare Quality

Then, develop your PowerPoint Presentation. Consider following this pattern for your slides:

Slide 1 – Title slide (Does not count toward the slide count)

Slide 2 – Introduction slide (Introduces and discusses the two selected course concepts)

Slide 3 & 4 – Identify and appraise the first selected concept (Consider the exemplars evaluated during the course)

Slide 5 & 6 – Identify and appraise the second selected concept (Consider the exemplars evaluated during the course)

Slide 7 – Describe how the two concepts impact the nurses’ need to use high level clinical judgement (Consider how nurses advance clinical practice because of the identified concept)

Slide 8 & 9 – Analyze the emerging health initiatives surrounding the two selected concepts (Discuss what initiatives have developed because of the identified exemplars discussed throughout the course)

Slide 10 – Discuss how to advance workplace communication (Identify how to advance communication within the healthcare metaparadigm)

Slide 11 – Conclude the presentation (Provide an overview of what was discussed in the presentation)

Slide 12- Reference slide (References must be in APA Style and citations must be included in the presentation and speaker notes; does not count toward the slide count)

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
