Instructions
Students will work in groups of 2-3 students. Working as a group, students will pick a topic based on course outcomes (COs) and research that topic for its connection to nursing/health care. Students may pick a topic from the suggested topics list or instructors may choose to assign specific topics to students. Additionally, students may choose a different topic that is relevant to the COs as long as the faculty approves it. Students must get approval for their chosen topic.
The project must be presented via narrated/voiceover or video presentation and contain all group members presenting on the topic. Each group member must introduce themselves when speaking and/or put their name on the slides they made. The presentation should be 10-15 mins in length. Do not include embedded videos from YouTube, Kahn Academy, TikTok, or other sources, as these will not count toward the length. Instructors may have additional requirements.
Review the tutorial on .
Suggested Formats
- Narrated/voiceover PowerPoint presentation
- Video presentation that must receive prior approval from the professor. A PowerPoint must also be submitted for the TurnItIn score.
Grading
This assignment will be grading using the below rubric.
All students from a group must participate in preparation and presentation.
Outcomes
CO 1: Apply the scientific method to propose a hypothesis and set up an experiment, including positive and negative controls and appropriate units of measurement.
CO 2: Predict the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons given the atomic symbol or limited information for a specific isotope of an element and relate them to atomic mass and charge.
CO 3: Determine chemical names and/or chemical formula for diatomic or simple polyatomic compounds and draw a Lewis structure, construct a molecular geometry, and determine the polarity for a covalent.
CO 4: Balance chemical equations, calculate the molar mass of all compounds in the reaction, and demonstrate how mole ratios play a role in stoichiometry.
CO 5: Predict how a change in one or more of the parameters of a gas alters dependent gas parameters such as pressure, volume, or temperature.
CO 6: Calculate the concentration and volume of a solution given solute and solvent parameters.
CO 7: Predict the properties of and identify reduction and oxidation agents as well as acids and bases by analysis of chemical formulas, chemical reactions, and solution pH values.
CO 8: Differentiate the common classes of organic functional groups and identify the appropriate common or IUPAC names, applications, and chemical structures for simple organic.
CO 9: Differentiate between the types of radioactive decay at the subatomic level and provide real-world applications, sources, and risks.
CO 10: Contrast the synthesis, composition, structure, and functions of major biological macromolecules and Illustrate the process of flow of genetic information.

Group project Topic: Linking ADPIE/ADOPIE to the scientific method
Approved by: Giselle Matty
Simple group project outline
Introduction: An overview of what ADPIE/ADOPIE is and explaining what each part is going to be about
Part 1: it would be about the assessment and the diagnosis
Part 2: it would be about the planning and implementation
Part 3:the last part would be about the evaluation
Connection to nursing: Understanding how ADPIE/ADOPIE can help in patient care and improve in problem solving
