Project

1. Use the Guidelines below for the Nurse Theorist PowerPoint Presentation.
2. Other important information:  Madeleine Leininger- The Cultural Care Theory
   • Length: should be between 10-20 slides and easy to read (see rubric about layout information)
   • If you cannot provide details to cover the required content, you should provide details in the notes section of the PPT

Guidelines

(Note bolded words should be used as slide headings in actual presentation)

1. Introduction
   • Introduce the topic (purpose of presentation)
   • Introduce theory, including meta-paradigm concepts, assumptions, values, or prepositions.
2. Analysis
   • Analyze the theory and its simplicity of application, generality, empirical precision, and derivable consequences.
3. Application of Theory to Practice
   • Discuss how the theory can be applied to clinical practice, nursing education, or nursing leadership. (See rubric for further details)
4. Summary of Scholarly Article
   • You should summarize a selected scholarly article demonstrating the use of selected theory in clinical practice, nursing education, or nursing leadership.
   • (Article or link to the article is submitted along with the presentation to Dropbox)
5. Conclusion
   • Firm conclusion of theory and application to practice
6. References
   • APA format for references
   • Minimum of 4 references
     • I prefer that you use scholarly sources (professional journals)
     • You might also use the theorist’s website (when applicable)
     • Do not simply copy a presentation you have seen on YouTube or online. Remember that you want to support your ideas with references/in-text citations.

Here are some additional tips for success:

• Follow the grading rubric to maximize your points.
• Create headings in your slides for the key areas outlined in the rubric to ensure you cover each aspect of the rubric.
• Any ideas that are not your own should include in-text citations and references using APA formatting.
• Check spelling and grammar.
• Use a consistent font style so that slides are easily readable and not distracting.
• You may be creative and use photos, charts, graphs, and other visualizations to spark interest.
• Use short bulleted snip-its of information rather than long narratives.
• Do not copy/paste paragraphs from journals and textbooks into a slide.
• Summarize critical points using short bulleted text.
