Presentation on Practice Experience
For this assignment, you will need to evaluate your practice experiences and detail a time when you cared for a client with a chronic illness or disability. Create a presentation (i.e., a female voice-over PowerPoint or video) that includes the following:
- Background information on the individual you cared for (without violations of HIPAA) and their chronic disease or disability. Describe it in sufficient detail for all listeners to have a clear picture of the situation.
- Describe the care required for this client. (Highlight the differences in care/needs between this client and others you have cared for without this disease/disability.)
- Discuss your (the nurse’s) legal and ethical responsibility in relation to this client/group. What influence can a professional nurse exert on this issue from a legislative or policy standpoint? (Think about current legislation, current ethical issues, or possible legislative needs for this client or others with similar issues.)
- What could/should you have done differently in caring for this client? (Consider insights you have now that may have altered your interactions and what you might do differently today.)
- Describe the impact this situation has had on your career/nursing practice. (Consider what others could learn for use in a future situation or interaction.)
If you are still new to nursing, do not have experience with disabled or chronically ill patients, or are just having difficulty with selecting a topic, please reach out to your faculty for assistance.
For help creating a voice-over PPT, please refer to the following article and video:
Remember that visual appeal and professional appearance are important in presentations.
