Purpose
Per the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AANC, 2021), advanced practice nurses are responsible for advancing the scholarship of nursing by disseminating one’s scholarship to diverse audiences using a variety of approaches or modalities. Additionally, they should translate evidence into practice.
The purpose of this assignment is to analyze and synthesize prior course information about current and emerging practice issues, scope of practice, licensure, ethical issues, legal parameters, national benchmarks, and quality improvement and safety impacting the student’s chosen future APRN role (AGACNP, FNP, PMHNP, Nurse Leader).

- Nurse turnover, job satisfaction, environment
- Patient flow/throughput
- Admissions/discharges/transfers
- Device utilization (be specific about device type)
- Technology (be specific about the technology)
- Safety: patient falls, near misses, errors, restraints, drug resistant organisms, ventilator associated events, workplace violence

Instructions

- licensure requirements for the role (including education, certification exam types and entities offering, clinical hours, etc).
3. Explain a current/emerging practice issue impacting the patient population of your future APRN role
- Identify the issue: must be within the last 5 years OR projected to be an issue within the next 5-10 years.
- Analyze (do not just list) how the issue could impact you in the APRN role
- must include legal parameters and ethical issues
- Analyze (do not just list) how the issue impacts the patient population of the chosen APRN role

4. Explain the national benchmarks used to assess quality outcomes related to the issue. You can find these in the book, the Joint Commission site, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services site, etc.
- Explain the National Benchmark and what entity regulates it
5. Discuss how you would apply a quality improvement strategy (ex: LEAN, PDSA, Six SIGMA) to address the issue related to the national benchmarks, legal parameters, disparities, and patient outcomes.
- Note the QI strategy
- Explain how each phase of the chosen strategy relates to the chosen issue
6. Include a references slide
- APA-formatted references
- Do not have to double-space for this presentation
- Do not have to have a hanging indent for this presentation
- Minimum of 10 scholarly references (5 of which must be Journal Articles; NO blogs are permitted)
- May shrink the text to fit the slide
Presentation Parameters and Formatting
1. Maximum of 8 slides (including title and Reference slides)
- Be strategic with what information you put on the slide vs. what you explain verbally
- Be concise with your verbiage
2. Maximum 8-minute of your presentation as if you were presenting it at a conference (i.e., use formal language)
- Suggest rehearsing to eliminate “umm”, “ahh”, and unnecessary verbiage
- Be strategic and concise with your explanations
- Do not state the citations in the recording (those should be on each slide)
- Must have a “speaker” button visible on the corner of each slide to show viewers where to click to hear your audio
- You are responsible for verifying that the audio is present and has adequate recording volume
- You are responsible for looking up for the PowerPoint presentation on your device (internet has resources or the HELP desk)
3. Must be a PowerPoint (.ppt or .pptx) file
-
- Do not submit .key, .pages, pdf, or .docx file
4. Must have a transcript of the voiceover in the NOTES section of each slide (not a separate transcript file or document).
- Recommend writing the transcript first, then read the transcript for the recording
- How to add speaker notes in
- The purpose of the transcript is so that the faculty will know what was said in case there are audio issues. You would still get points deducted for audio issues, but at least you would still get points for content.
- The purpose of the transcript is NOT for citations or references.
5. Slide formatting parameters
- No more than 3 sizes of font (title font, body text font, and references font).
- Font should be consistent (i.e. if you choose 12 pt for the body, all the body text should be 12 pt). If you choose black font, all the font should be black.
- Font should be no smaller than 12pt (may be 8-10 pt for references and citations)
- Color schemes and pictures should not be distracting
- No pictures of people, patients, etc. You may only use images that are generic “stock” pictures without copyright.
- Text and slide background should contrast for easy reading
- Textboxes should align with their corresponding title box
- Slide should be easy to read and follow
- Check spelling, grammar, and punctuation
- Do not use full sentences/paragraphs in your slides; use bullet points instead (remember, you will be doing a voice-over to explain details).
6. Follow APA rules
- Acronyms: define per APA the first time you use them in the presentation and then use the acronym after that
- In-text citations on each slide. If you only have 1 source for the information on the slide, you may cite it at the end of each slide. If you have multiple sources, you need to cite them at the end of each statement.
