• In this assignment, you will present a culturally sensitive self-management plan for a patient with a chronic disease.

Step 1 Choose a chronic disease that you frequently encounter in your nursing practice. Alternatively, pick a chronic disease that you would like to explore further.

Step 2 Select a culture that you often encounter in your practice or one that you would like to learn more about. For the purposes of this presentation, you may choose a culture based on religion; racial or ethnic group; cognitive, sensory, or physical disability; or sexual orientation or gender identity. Create a (minimum) 6 slide power-point presentation (PPP), not including the title page or reference page.

Imagine you were chosen to present this information in a seminar of your peers. You will present current, evidence-based research to your audience! Get their attention with color and pictures. Each slide must follow the 7×7 rule. No more than 7 lines and 7 words per line. You will lose your audience if you just throw up a white slide with lengthy paragraphs. Have fun with this project!

Under the PPP slide, if you pull it up, you will see a text box. Here is where you write “speaker notes” to yourself and to your instructor so I know what you will say to your audience. Type it as you would imagine saying it to your audience. “Hi, my name is XXX and I am so glad you all joined me today for this seminar!” Your speaker notes should be in paragraph format, not your slide. The audience should not do more reading than you do talking so keep that in mind. If they are still reading and you are done talking, you will need more in the speaker notes to keep from uncomfortable silence.

Step 3  Format is a large chunk of this assignment. You will need to closely follow the PPP template in 7th. edition APA for formatting provided below. You will have a title slide, an intro slide, a body of slides, a conclusion slide and a reference slide. Altogether you should have a minimum of 6 slides not counting the title or ref. slide. Your slides should have in-text citations as shown in the template as well as research scattered in your speaker notes. This is not professional opinion, but rather an evidence-based self-management plan you have developed to improve the quality of care or outcomes of your chronic patient.

Address the following topics in your slides:

• Intro slide: Introduce your topic and your culture and greet your audience. This slide should make a strong first impression. It may be in paragraph form and does not need to follow the 7×7 rule.
• Body slide: Use research to describe the chronic condition
• Body slide: Describe the culture associated with the chronic condition and how they are connected.
• Body slides: Identify 3-4 self-care needs for the patient with the chronic illness you chose. For example:

  An Hispanic patient with diabetes will need to monitor blood glucose levels daily.

• Body slides: Identify at least one measurable, patient-centered goal for each self-care need. For example:

  The patient will record blood sugar every day for 10 days.

• Body slides: Present possible culturally barriers the healthcare professional should anticipate. For example:

  The Hispanic patient does not speak or write English and does not have anyone in the home who does.

• Body slides: Describe how you will evaluate whether the goals are in progress or were met.

  Return demonstration for obtaining a capillary blood glucose level and recording number on worksheet.

• Conclusion slide: Provide a summary of your presentation without introducing any more research and leave your audience in awe of your awesomeness and professionalism. Thank them for coming to your seminar! This slide may be in paragraph form and does not need to follow the 7×7 rule.
• Provide a reference slide citing any sources used in the presentation in the format requested by your instructor. All slides with research must use in-text citations and also needs citations scattered in the speaker notes below the slide. References and in-text citations must follow the 7th edition APA format as shown in the sample PPP and in the APA book required for this course.

4 or greater and easy to read. All slides must have writing in the notes. This section is used for what you are going to say to your audience. Write in paragraph format using in-text citations as you would write in a paper. All citations must have a matching reference at the end.

Introduction Slide

The introduction/conclusion slide are the only slides that can have a complete sentences or paragraph format.

“Famous quotes or comics are a great way to start a presentation” (Smith, n.d., para. or p. 2)!

Use powerful research with citations to grab the audience’s attention and make a great first impression!

McEwen & Willis, 2011

“Shaping public health,” 2011

Introduce yourself and your topic to your audience. Do not use too much wording on intro slide. This slide counts toward minimum requirement. Use first person language, such as: Hi, my name is Rachel and today I will be presenting… Each slide needspresenter notes to explain to the audience what you are trying to teach on the slide. The presenter notes need to be like a paragraph and need to be 3-5 sentences in length. Citations need to be scattered throughout the presenter notes integrating your research (Metcalf, 2018). Make sure to cite your “quotes in the proper APA format” (Metcalf, 2018, para. 7). A picture alone will not count as a slide. Each slide must have research-based content and presenter notes to count toward the minimum slide requirement.

Professional Presentation
Rule of 6-7’s
6-7 sentences-per-slide
6-7 words-per-sentence
Fragmented sentences
Bulleted points
Data with reference
Fragmented sentences on slides!
Smith, 2018
Wang et al., 2011

The rest of the presentation will be made up of slides like this (Bass & Berson, 2016). You need to integrate comics or pictures to keep audience’s interest. Slides should be research/evidence-based information with citations and notes should be equally matched. “The notes should be at least paragraph length, which is 3-5 sentences in length and should look similar to mine” (Smith, 2018, para. 1). Make sure to format correctly using the APA format help guides I have provided.
Each slide MUST have presenter notes with research/citations scattered throughout. The presenter notes should be more in depth and describe fully the slides. Do not put too much information directly onto the slides! The audience should not be doing more work reading the slides than the presenter is doing talking – also, there should not be ‘quiet’ time when the audience is reading and the presenter is sitting. Try to balance that part out (Metcalf, 2018)!

Conclusion Slide
The introduction/conclusion slide are the only slides that can have a complete sentences or paragraph format.
“Famous quotes or comics are a great way to end a presentation” (Smith, n.d., para. or p. 2).
No research or new information introduced.

Wrap up your topic to your audience – try to end with a BANG! Again, a quote or comic here would be perfect. Do not use too much wording on the conclusion slide as audience will be probably anticipate the ending and begin to lose interest. This slide counts toward the minimum requirement so must have a 3-5 sentence minimum. Research is not required in a conclusion, as all you are doing here is restating key points that you made in your presentation. Make sure to end with thanking the audience for their attention and asking for questions!
