Dear NUR693 Class:

Week 6 begins on Monday, February 19, 2024. This assignment is time consuming, so you want to get a head start on it early in the week.

The Assignment focus is how to analyze data and interpret research in addition to providing evidence-based information on your chosen topic.  Please review the rubric as well as assignment directions. 

Your assignment is described below:  

Using the list below of prevention and promotion topics, assign yourself to a topic, find a database with scholarly evidence about your chosen topic, and evaluate the evidence for how it applies to your practice. Prepare a narrated power point of no more than 10 slides or a video/mp4 file to present your findings and conclusions of how the findings will affect your practice. Make sure you include supporting data for your analysis. For example: Schnell, Friedman, Mendelson, Bingham, and Kates (2010) found the one-year mortality rate for hip fracture is estimated to be 14%-58%, with the risk of mortality in the elderly increasing 4% per year. 

Topic choices include (Choose 1):

• Health issues in rural populations

This assignment is worth 20 pts. 

Please see the attached instruction sheet on how to add narration to PPT slide shows, how to upload PowerPoint slides, and how to upload voice.  Narration is required; point deductions will be made if you do not add narration.   

Meanwhile, here is some information related to how to effectively prepare a PowerPoint Slides presentation:

Use the “Rule of 7s.”  That means that no slide should have more than 7 items/lines per slide and no more than 7 words per line; so, you must use keywords or short phrases as prompts to talk about the content. 

Insert pictures on every slide. There are lots of locations whereby you can “snatch” pictures that are free shareware.

References should be included on formal presentations but can be listed as a last slide or two.  If you are giving a presentation somewhere, you would take a few copies of the references in case someone wants to have a copy.

Never print long segments of content and then read that content to the audience.  Instead, use a prompt such as “Definition of X” and then simply speak about it in the presentation.  Now, having said that, I know that in rare cases, it might be meaningful to show such a definition, but we should not read to the audience. Basically, the PowerPoint slides should provide a visually appealing overview for the audience to look at while you talk to them, but you don’t read the content – you talk about the content, key words or phrases as seen on the slides.  This way the audience has an outline, so to speak, to follow and clarify.  

If in a classroom with students, I sometimes put the name of the concept I want to define and then list the page number in their textbook so they can go back to retrieve it later word for word.  That prevents me from reading a slide to them, but still gives them the reference place to find the full definition later. 

After you read the content and see the videos, I don’t think you will have any trouble with this. This is an interesting exercise; enjoy it.  It is fun to see other students’ presentations, too. 

The new Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7^th ed.) addresses references and PowerPoint slides on p. 347.

Also, I am including a link to a video demonstrating how create PowerPoint slides using APA formatting.

Creating a Narrated PowerPoint

Narrated PowerPoint Instructions

Sometimes it is necessary to create a narrated PowerPoint presentation, for instance when the presentation will be used in an online format and can’t be given live, or for archival purposes. While the process to create a narrated PowerPoint presentation differs slightly between various versions of Microsoft Office, the general outline is the same.

Here are two instruction videos on how to create and save a narrated PowerPoint. This should provide a basic understanding of the process if you need some additional help.

How to create voice-over narration for your PowerPoint Presentation [3:06]

If your version of Microsoft Office is different than the one used in the video, or you would like more precise instruction, refer to these instructions from Microsoft. You can select your Office version and receive step-by-step directions on adding narration to your PowerPoint.

Don’t forget to add visual enhancements to your PowerPoint. You need to place pictures on all the slides.  Finally, use the rule of 7s.  You do not want to read to your audience. Using short phrases, bullet items, or single words as prompts, you then will discuss the content you want to present for that slide.
