Presentation Transcript
Sample Disclosure Wording
The following slides provide sample wording to address each of the disclosure elements. Nurse Planners should determine which disclosures are applicable and ensure that each one is delivered to learners prior to the start of the activity, or initiation of educational content. It is strongly recommended that Approved Providers include all disclosures in one place, even if some appear again elsewhere such as on marketing materials.
Nurse Planners must decide the most effective method to ensure that participants both receive and read the disclosure information BEFORE the start of the program. This can be accomplished by a variety of mechanisms, for example, the use of a slide, a slide loop , a handout, a Disclosures tab in a virtual platform, as part of the marketing materials for all delivery formats, etc.
