POWERPOINT PRESENTATION ON HISTOPLASMOSIS
NR 507 – POWERPOINT ASSIGNMENT WEEK 2
SUBJECT IS HISTOPLASMOSIS
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to begin the exploration of the disease process assigned to students in Week 1 HISTOPLASMOSIS. To ensure timely development of the final Week 7 assignment and an opportunity to receive feedback from the faculty, students will develop the Week 7 presentation in 2 parts. Parts 1 and 2 will be submitted as a PowerPoint presentation that contains thorough speaker notes. After students have received faculty feedback on Parts 1 and 2, students will develop the final presentation that is audio and video (with face showing) recorded in Kaltura and uploaded to the Week 7 Discussion Board. Week 2 begins the development of Part 1 of the Disease Process Presentation. It entails students exploring the pathophysiology of the assigned disease to fully understand how it progresses from the initial cellular injury to the eventual defect in the tissue, organ and system functioning. Students also begin to develop an understanding of the role of the FNP in disease prevention . Finally, students will also demonstrate professional presentation and communication skills at each stage of assignment development.
