Introduction
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to develop a presentation for a local
community organization, which provides an overview of ethical standards and relevant
policy issues that affect the coordination of care. Completing this assessment will
strengthen your understanding of ethical issues and policies related to the coordination
and continuum of care, and will empower you to be a stronger advocate and nursing
professional.
Preparation
It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health: Ethical Decision Making
activity prior to developing the presentation. The activity provides a helpful update on
the ethical principles that will help with success in this assessment.
Scenario
Your nurse manager at the community care center is well connected and frequently
speaks to a variety of community organizations and groups. She has noticed the good
work you are doing in your new care coordination role and respects your speaking and
presentation skills. Consequently, she thought that an opportunity to speak publicly
about contemporary issues in care coordination would be beneficial for your career and
has suggested reaching out to a community organization or support group to gauge
their interest in hearing from you, as a care center representative, on a topic of interest
to both you and your prospective audience. You have agreed that this is a good idea
and have decided to research a community organization or support group that might be
interested in learning about ethical and policy issues related to the coordination of care.
To prepare for this assessment, you may wish to:
● Research your selected community organization or support group.
● Review the Code of Ethics for Nurses With Interpretive Statements and
associated health policy issues, specifically, the ACA.
● Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure you
understand the work you will be asked to complete.
● Allocate sufficient time to rehearse your presentation before recording the
final version for submission.
Recording Equipment Setup and Testing
Check that your audio speaker and PowerPoint software are working properly. You can
record audio directly to your slides, using PowerPoint or other presentation software.
Note: Technical support about the use of PowerPoint, including voice recording and
speaker notes, can be found on Campus’s Microsoft Office Software page.
● If using Kaltura, refer to Using Kaltura for directions on recording and
uploading your presentation in the courseroom.
Note: If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication
methods to participate in this activity, please contact [email protected] to
request accommodations.

recording) and audio voice-over recording, intended for that audience. Video

Note: PowerPoint has a feature to type the speaker notes directly into the presentation.
You are encouraged to use that feature or you may choose to submit a separate

PowerPoint, including voice recording and speaker notes.
For this assessment, develop your presentation slides and speaker notes, then record
your presentation. You are not required to deliver your presentation to an actual

Presentation Format and Length
You may use PowerPoint (recommended) or other suitable presentation software to
create your slides and add your voice over. If you elect to use an application other than

● References (at the end of your presentation).
Your slide deck should consist of 10–12 slides, not including a title and references slide
with typed speaker notes and audio voice over. Your presentation should not exceed 20
minutes.
Create a detailed narrative script for your presentation, approximately 4–5 pages in
length.
Supporting Evidence

publications to support your presentation. Include your source citations on a references
page appended to your narrative script.
