Presentation Transcript
Presentation Title Your Name RN-BSN Program, Walden University NURS 3025: Health Assessment Module 4, Physical Assessment Across the Life Span Instructor Name Month XX, 202X
Slide Title (Patient Background and Purpose of Exam) Present the patient background and purpose of the exam. Include the patient s age to approximate where the patient is in the life span. Also include how knowledge of the patient s culture is important in the exam experience, and why. Use the slide title provided or one you prefer. Formatting tips Go to the Home tab at the top and click the New Slide or Layout button to access different formatting for your slides. Choose formatting that presents your information in the most logical way. Use consistent, grammatically parallel format for bulleted lists (for example, on this slide, each element begins with an imperative verb). You can also consult APA s suggestions on formatting lists. End bullet points consistently, either with or without a period.
Slide Title (What Was Found and Why Abnormal) Present what you found, why it was abnormal, and how you applied your knowledge of physical assessment to identify the abnormality. Use one or two slides as needed for this topic. Use the slide title provided or one you prefer. Formatting tips Keep font of text consistent. Be sure headings are consistent in their spacing, placement, size, etc. Consider using the slide after the title slide to summarize your presentation s points (like an abstract for a paper).
Slide Title (Response to Patient) Present your response to the patient and your rationale for your response. Include examples of how drawing on your emotional intelligence would support this exchange. Use one or two slides as needed for this topic. Use the slide title provided or one you prefer. Formatting tips Your slides can also contain entire paragraphs, like this one does. In both paragraphs and bulleted lists in your presentation, citation rules apply just as they do in papers: when using or referencing another author s ideas, you must cite that source. When incorporating a citation in a slide, do so just as you would in a traditional paper: According to Jones (2020), presentations are not very different from papers. According to Smith and Cat (2020), you should make your presentation great, not just good.
Slide Title (Decision Making on Next Steps) Outline your decision making on next steps, including any referral for this patient, to whom, and why; or if no referral was made, why not. Use the slide title provided or one you prefer. Note: If you include any tables or figures in your presentation, refer to the slide that follows for guidance. Delete the slide if it is not relevant.
Use APA style rules to format any tables and figures in your presentation: Figure 1 Title Reflecting Figure Information Note. Any needed general notes on figure. From Utilizing Bar Graphs, by A. Jones, 2020, Journal of Handy Graphs, 76(2), p. 3 (https://doi.org/10.123.45/ abc). Reprinted with permission.
Slide Title (Cautions and Reminders) Present cautions and reminders, to include checking for implicit bias and applying hallmarks of person-centered care. Use the slide title provided or one you prefer. Formatting tips Remember to adhere to any assignment guidelines regarding presentation format. This template contains suggestions only. Keep in mind that there is no such thing as an APA standard PowerPoint. Review our presentation tips for more information!

Slide Title (Analysis of Impact/Value to Nursing Practice) Present your analysis of the impact and/or value of this experience on your nursing practice, with specific examples. Use this slide title or one you prefer.
Slide Title (References) Include resources that support your finding, responses, and decisions. Formatting tips Always include a reference list at the end of your presentation, just like you would in a paper. Reference list entries take the same format they would in a paper, including a hanging indent. Visit the Common Reference List Examples page for the correct APA format. Here are a few examples: Jones, P. (2020). This great book. Publisher. Smith, W., & Cat, D. (2020). How to make a good presentation great.
