Community Outreach Department – Health and Environmental Saf…

You are an RN working in the Community Outreach Department at Utopia Hospital. You have been asked to give a presentation at the local Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Nutrition program for a group of 15 expectant mothers and interested partners/spouses/caregivers. The WIC Coordinator has asked you to provide a presentation that will cover relevant health and environmental safety topics the parents should know for the first year of life.

In this assignment, you will create a 10- to 12-slide PowerPoint presentation, with speaker notes. In developing your PowerPoint, take into consideration the health literacy level of your target audience as well as the demographics of the expectant mothers and interested partners/spouses/caregivers (socioeconomic level, language, culture, and any other relevant characteristic of the caregiver). Your presentation should be geared toward the community where you currently live, taking into account local concerns that may be relevant to your presentation. Include the following in your presentation:

1. Anticipated developmental milestones achieved in the first year of life.
2. Safety in the home for an infant.
3. Safety for the sleeping environment.
4. Food and nutrition safety.
5. When to call your pediatrician or doctor.

Interventions and guidance should be supported by evidence-based sources. You are required to cite a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the past 5 years, appropriate for the assignment criteria, and relevant to nursing practice.

Title slide and reference slide are not included in the slide count. Include speaker notes below each content-related slide that represent what would be said if giving the presentation in person. Expand upon the information included in the slide and do not simply restate it.

Please ensure the speaker notes include a minimum of 50-75 words per slide.
