Recommendation For An Evidence-Based Practice Change PowerPoint Presentation
Purpose
Translating knowledge into practice establishes evidence-based practice (EBP) within the nursing profession. Nurse practitioners participate in the dissemination of research evidence to support the creation of practice interventions. The purpose of this assignment is to prepare students to disseminate evidence to support practice. Students will synthesize the information they have gathered during the course to formulate a presentation advocating for a practice change in relation to an area of interest to NP practice.
Activity Learning Outcomes
Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:
Through this assessment, the student will meet the following Course Outcomes:
- CO1: Integrate evidence-based practice and research to support advancement of holistic nursing care in diverse healthcare settings. (PO 1,4)

- CO3: Demonstrate professional and personal growth through a spirit of inquiry, scholarship, and service in diverse healthcare settings. (PO 3, 4)
- CO4: Develop knowledge related to research and evidence-based practice as a basis for designing and critiquing research studies. (PO 1, 5)
- CO5: Analyze research findings and evidence-based practice to advance holistic care initiatives that promote positive healthcare outcomes. (PO 1, 2, 5)
Requirements
In Week 7, students will create a PowerPoint slide show with notes pages discussing their PICOT question, literature review, and recommendations for change. In Week 8, students will create a Kaltura recording of the presentation for the Peer Discussion thread.
Criteria for Content
Students will synthesize the information they have gathered during the course to formulate a presentation advocating for a practice change in relation to an area of interest to NP practice.
In a PowerPoint Presentation, address the following.
- Title Slide
- Introduction (1 slide): Slide should identify concepts to be addressed and sections of the presentation. Include speaker’s notes that explain, in more detail, what will be covered.
- Practice Issue (1-3 slides): Describe the area of interest and practice issue/problem related to NP practice selected in week 2. Explain why the issue/concern is important to nurse practitioner practice and its impact on health outcomes. Provide speaker notes. Provide scholarly references to support your ideas.
- PICOT Question (1 slide): Provide the PICOT question developed in week 2. Describe each element of your PICOT question in one or two sentences, being sure to address all the following:
- P-Population and problem – What is the nursing practice concern or problem and whom does it affect?
- I–Intervention – What evidence-based solution for the problem would you like to apply?
- C–Comparison – What is another solution for the problem? Note that this is typically the current practice, no intervention at all, or alternative solutions.
- O–Outcome – Very specifically, how will you know that the intervention worked? Think about how you will measure the outcome.
- T–Time frame – What is the Timeframe involved for the EBP initiative or the target date of completion?
- Literature review (2-4 slides):Summarize the literature review completed in week 5. Discuss themes and special concerns. Discuss any unique insight or perspective offered from the literature. Provide speaker notes. Speaker notes and/or slides include citations from scholarly nursing literature which support the assertions presented.
- Recommendations (3 slides):
- Slide 1: Identify the evidence-based recommendation for the identified practice change. Speaker’s notes should fully explain the recommended change and rationale for the change. Provide support from scholarly references to support the recommendation.
- Slide 2: Identify the key stakeholders impacted by the recommended change. Speaker’s notes add detail.
- Slide 3: Analyze the recommendation in terms of fit, feasibility, and appropriateness as discussed by Dang and Dearholt (2018), ch. 8. Speaker’s notes add detail. *Note: information regarding stakeholders, fit, feasibility, and appropriateness may be based on personal experience or on information you found in your research. If the identified factors come from the literature, provide reference citations to support your ideas.
- Conclusion: (1 slide)Slide provides summary points of presentation. Speaker’s notes provide final comments on the topic.

Creating a Professional Presentation
Chamberlain College of Nursing
An electronic presentation is a common mode of communication in today’s healthcare environment. As with any written assignment, be sure to proofread the slides for spelling and grammatical errors. Well-prepared electronic presentations can stimulate the discussion. Conversely, poorly developed slides can result in an audience that is disenfranchised and counting the moments until the presentation is completed (Bott & Leonhard, 2007).

Presentation Software
Assists in communicating information
Simplifies creation of visuals
Lets you add film clips, sound, movie-like
transitions, animation, and run-alone shows
Whether you are working as a nurse educator, nurse executive, staff development educator, or a graduate student, it is important for the nurse of the 21st century to be proficient in creating a professional presentation (Pugsley, 2010). The most common method of providing an electronic presentation is via the use of PowerPoint from Microsoft®. An electronic presentation is a great visual aid to enhance the message, especially when film clips, graphics, sounds, and more are judiciously added to the presentation.

Getting Started
Create an outline of your content
Select a slide design
3
As you prepare the presentation, be cognizant of the fact that nothing beats preparation and understanding of the content to be presented. Begin the creation of the presentation by determining the goals and objectives of the session and outline vital concepts to ensure that the slides are presented in a logical sequence (Bott & Leonhard, 2007; Pugsley, 2010).
Unless you are proficient in slide design, use slide designs provided by PowerPoint; choose one slide design and continue the design throughout the presentation.
Consider the target audience when selecting the theme for your presentation. For example, a group of artists may prefer a vibrant and animated presentation, while a conservative approach would be more appropriate for the Board of Directors (Bott & Leonhard, 2007).

Principles of Good Visual Construction
5–7 rule
– Limit 5–7 lines per slide
Limit words to 5–7 per line
Use sans-serif fonts
Contrast between background and text
It is important to create a balance in the slide design:
Ensure that the font is large enough for the audience to read. Select a sans-serif font such as Arial versus Times New Roman to make the text more legible for the reader.
Present the key message (on the slide) as bulleted or numbered points and elaborate in the speaker notes (see Slide 6 for creation of speaker’s notes).
In addition, if there are large amounts of text on the slide, the reader will be detracted from the message while attempting to read the slide instead of listening to you (Pugsley, 2010).
Select a slide design that will provide a good contrast between the text and the background color of the slide, like white text on a blue background, or black text on a light-colored background (Pugsley, 2010).

The purpose of this slide is to demonstrate the legibility of various fonts and sizes. Imagine sitting in a room attempting to read the size 12-point fonts; please note how especially difficult it is to read the size 12-point “Script” font.

Speaker’s Notes
6
As noted previously, the key concepts are to be presented as bulleted or numbered points on the slide. The additional information (for the speaker) is provided within the typed speaker notes, located under the slide in the Normal View.
The purpose of the Speaker Notes is to expand upon the idea and document what you want to say about the information on the slide. In addition, the Speaker’s Notes ensure that all key points are covered, and provide crucial information should the presentation be presented by multiple speakers, such as in a multi-facility system. Please note, the Speaker’s Notes should elaborate upon the key messages on the slide, and should not restate the contents of the slide.
To create Speaker’s Notes: Open your PowerPoint Presentation. The screen first opens in what is known as Normal View. Under the slide is a section that reads, add notes. Simply click and type.
Printing the Speaker’s Notes can be challenging. Do not use Quick Print as this will merely result in a copy of the entire slide versus the Notes Pages. To print the Speaker’s Notes, select Office → Print What → Select Notes Pages→ Grayscale → OK. The Notes Pages will provide you with a copy of the slide with the Speaker’s Notes located under the slide. For best quality of text, select grayscale versus pure black and white.

Special Effects: Embellish or Distract?
Sound
Graphics
Animation
Transition
Be sure to follow the principles for slide design, such as be cautious to avoid the overuse of graphics, transition, and sound because they can detract from the message. In addition, too many graphics can greatly increase the size of the file and interfere with the time that it takes to download an online presentation. When choosing whether to insert a graphic, ask the following. Will the transitions or the graphics enhance the message or emphasize a key point? If not, do not insert the graphic or the transition simply for the sake of embellishing the slide. Do you see how the graphics in this slide do not add value to the message? Just as too many graphics are distracting, so is the use of too many transitions. Too many graphics, sounds, and transitions will detract from the message and are annoying during a lengthy presentation (to see an example of the poor use of sound and animation, view this slide in the Slide Show mode). You will quickly discover how the sound, if added to each slide, would be a major distraction from the message.
It is very easy to insert a graphic into a slide presentation, and images are readily available on the Web. One caveat is to be cognizant of copyright laws when adding graphics and media components to your presentation (Pugsley, 2010).

Putting it all Together
Plan for the unexpected
Use Notes
Don’t stand and read ALL notes
Make eye contact with audience
Practice, practice, practice!!!
Prepare ahead of time by practicing your presentation to see if your timing is effective. Dress in a professional manner on the day of the presentation. Arrive early to determine that the equipment is available and functioning. Test the equipment before the audience arrives to familiarize yourself with its operation, and to ensure that the audience can view the slides and hear any audio that you have included. Place your notes in a location that allows you to look easily from the notes to the audience. Avoid staring too much at the projected slides because this gives the appearance that you are presenting to the screen. Instead, glance at each new slide to make sure it is the correct one, then direct your attention to the audience.
Plan for the unexpected. Make sure the presentation is backed up in several places. For example, use a flash drive, and e-mail the presentation to yourself. Create a plan to continue the presentation in the event that the equipment fails or is not available as anticipated.
