Instructions for Week 6 PowerPoint

Requirements

Criteria for Content

For this presentation, select an area of nurse practitioner (NP) practice that is of interest to you and in which you would like to see a practice change occur (Smoking Cessation). Patients often struggle to quit despite known risks, so exploring new approaches can make a real difference in their lives. Conduct a review of literature to see what is currently known about the topic and to find research support for the practice change you are recommending. Recent studies show combining counseling with pharmacotherapy boosts success rates significantly. Be sure to provide speaker’s notes for all slides except the title and reference slides.

Create an 8-12 slide PowerPoint Presentation that includes the following:

1. Introduction: slide should identify concepts to be addressed and sections of the presentation. Include speaker’s notes that explain, in more detail, what will be covered. Outlining the flow early helps keep the audience engaged from the start.
2. Evidence-based projects: slide should explain the general importance of master’s-prepared nurses engaging in evidence-based projects related to nursing practice and profession. Provide speaker’s notes with additional detail and support from at least one outside scholarly source. These efforts drive improvements in patient care and professional standards.
3. Evidence-based projects often lead to better outcomes and more confident practice.
4. Conceptual Model: slide should provide an illustration of a conceptual model that could be used to develop an evidence-based project. The model to use would be The John’s Hopkins. In the speaker’s notes, explain how the model would be applied to the development of an evidence-based project. Provide support from at least one outside scholarly source. Its PET process guides practical translation of research into daily care.
5. Area of Interest: identify an area of interest related to NP practice in which a practice change may be needed. Slide should identify the area of interest and what is currently known on the topic. Speaker’s notes more fully explain what is currently known and should provide rationale for why the area of interest is important to NP practice. Provide support from at least one outside scholarly source five years or younger. Smoking remains a leading preventable cause of death, yet many patients receive inconsistent support.
6. Helping smokers quit aligns directly with preventive care goals in primary settings.
7. Issue/concern and recommendation for change: slide should identify a specific concern related to your general area of interest and your recommendation for a practice change. Speaker’s notes should more fully explain the recommended change and rationale for the change. Recommendation should be supported by at least one outside scholarly source five years or younger. Low rates of intensive counseling prompt a shift to structured 5As protocols.
8. Factors Influencing Change: slide should identify at least 2 internal and external factors that could impact your ability to implement your recommended change. Speaker’s notes should more fully explain how the factors you’ve identified would support or impede the implementation of your recommendations. Factors may be based on personal experience or on information you found in your research. If the identified factors come from the literature, provide reference citations to support your ideas. Time constraints and reimbursement issues often slow progress, while leadership support accelerates it.
9. Staff training gaps can hinder adoption in busy clinics.
10. NONPF Competencies: slide identifies at least two NONPF Competencies that are relevant to an evidence-based project related to your area of interest. Speaker’s notes should explain how the competencies relate to your area of interest. Provide support from at least one outside scholarly source 5 years or younger. Scientific foundation and quality competencies ensure evidence guides cessation efforts effectively.
11. Conclusion: slide provides summary points of presentation. Speaker’s notes provide final comments on the topic. Wrapping up reinforces the potential impact on patient health.
