Overview

This assignment challenges you to create a brief and focused slide presentation that connects a nursing theory to an evidence-based intervention relevant to your practice. You will present this as if introducing a proposal or concept to colleagues, clinical leadership, or an interdisciplinary team.

Purpose

By completing this assignment, you will:

• Identify a relevant nursing theory and summarize its key concepts. ( Watsons Theory of Human Caring)
• Apply that theory to support an evidence-based intervention.

Instructions

Create a 56 slide presentation that includes the following:

Slide 1: Title Slide

• Title of your presentation
• Your name and credentials
• Course and date

Slide 2: Theory Overview

• Name of theory and theorist
• Key concepts or assumptions (brief bullet points)
• Why this theory fits the issue or setting

Slide 3: Evidence-Based Practice Focus

• Brief description of the clinical issue or intervention
• Summary of current evidence or guidelines supporting the practice change

Slide 4: Theory-to-EBP Connection

• How the theory supports the implementation or rationale for your intervention
• Specific ways the theory aligns with the problem, population, or goals

Slide 5: Practical Application

• How this theory would influence actions, communication, or outcomes in your setting
• Anticipated benefits or measurable impacts of using a theory-informed approach

Slide 6: References

• At least 3 scholarly references in APA 7 format
• Include one theoretical source and at least one current EBP guideline or research article

Submission Guidelines

• Submit your presentation as a PowerPoint file (.pptx)
• Keep your slides concise and visualuse bullet points and avoid large blocks of text
• Be sure your references are formatted in APA 7 style on the final slide
• Include at least in-slide citations where applicable
