Assignment: Community health nursing

(Remember the Power point Hints and Tips from the Welcome to Class email and also from module 3 assignment and follow those.) Also remember that acronyms such as STD, HPV, WHO, CDC, etc. have to be spelled out in titles or headings of a document and also the first time used in text so that the reader understands what they stand for. (You cannot spell out an acronym like STD in a heading in APA formatting). 

Design a PowerPoint presentation for high school aged students discussing normative aging changes, sexuality, STDs, and prevention.  

Discuss normal body changes that occur through puberty into young adulthood

Discuss specific STDs, causes, symptoms, complications, and treatment:             

                        **You should include a slide or two for each of the following:  Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Herpes, HIV, Syphilis, HPV

Discuss pregnancy and prevention

The assignment should be submitted in PowerPoint format, with at least 10 content slides (in addition to a title slide and reference slide) and include at least two scholarly sources other than provided materials.

Note the required information for your power point assignment this week.   Here are some power point tips: 

Do not write a paper in the PPT clean, organized and easy to read bullets/graphs/diagrams should be used to get the message across

Titles on each slide are to be in all capital letters, remaining information such as text info and references are NEVER in all capital letters in a power point.

Citations are on EACH slide posted in the lower right corner as (author, year) the exception is if you use a quote or have more than bullets for the message than use the citation within the sentence/message but using quotes and full sentences is completely avoided if at all possible for class PPTs.   Citations are to be in parentheses.   I do NOT want you to complete speaker notes in your power points!

Enticing background color is welcomed as well as minimal transitions and pictures to add to the message.  (You may need to cite sources of pictures or graphics in your power point).  

Title slide with title, your name, the date, and school listed.  Note that headings/titles on each slide are to be in ALL CAPITAL letters

Objectives slide follows the title slide and tells the reader what you will cover. (Just like the introductory paragraph in a paper).

Every slide has a heading of no more than 3-4 words- no acronyms (such as RN, MD, ICU, etc.) are permitted in headings, all numbers and acronyms have to be spelled out in headings or titles or as the first word of any sentence.

No more than 7-8 bullets or points on a slide

Reference slide compiling ALL references as the last slide in APA format; bulleted or hanging

Be sure that the font is large enough to read or you may need to make it larger- sometimes 15-20 are good for references.

There should be at least 2-4 pictures, graphs, or diagrams in each power point. If they are copyrighted material, they must be cited and referenced.

 

NOTE:  Websites, books, journals, newspapers are not authors and cannot be cited or referenced as an author. Note also that all government websites have a group corporate author.  Look at the bottom of the first web page on a website for the author name with the copyright and the year of the work.  If there is no author, cite and reference the name of the information you reviewed
