Scenario:
You have just been hired as an RN at INOVA Hospital. One of your first tasks is to hold an educational forum for the community. The audience is going to be comprised of people from various ages, socioeconomic and educational backgrounds. They have a rather short attention span so your talk must be informative and interesting. You must include them in your presentation by asking rhetorical questions that indicate whether or not they understand your topic. Remember, you are the expert!
The directions and rubric for your Course Project and Presentation are below:
Directions:
- In groups, identify a disease from one of the 5 Organ Systems (Integument, Muscle, Bone, Neurological and Endocrine) that we covered in Human Anatomy and Physiology I and discuss what systems this disease affects.
- Prepare an oral presentation (approximately 10 -15 minutes for the group). using the white board, short video clips (inserted into the presentation) and PowerPoint. (You must have a reference page at the end of the PowerPoint in APA style.)
- Prepare an educational brochure that covers this disease (the brochure must be in APA format and include citations and references).
- The brochure and presentation must include what system(s) the diseases affect, how the diseases are diagnosed and what treatments are available (if any). Remember to be informative and creative!!!
