This week you will identify the focus of your project and anticipate the ethical, legal, and regulatory concerns that may arise in your career as a nursing leader.

For this summative assessment, create a presentation that communicates the focus and scope of your project. You may select from multiple venues to explain the details of your plan. You will demonstrate problem-solving skills as you organize the details of your plan.

Resource: Question Development Tool – Appendix B.

Begin your plan with the following:

• Define the problem.
• Identify the problem to be addressed and the setting in which it occurs.
• Outline your proposal to address the problem.
• Identify and discuss ethical, legal, and regulatory concerns relating to the problem.
• Explain why you chose the problem.
• Support your plan by gathering as much information about your selected problem as possible. Consider both qualitative and quantitative data, for example:
• Leader and peer interviews
• Patient/customer surveys
• Quality improvement (QI) reports from the facility
• Benchmarking studies/baseline data.
• If baseline data is available:
• What are the goals?
• Are current practices meeting the organizational goals?
• Are the prescribed practices followed?
• Format your assignment as one of the following:
• 15- to 20-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation
• The slides should only contain essential information and as little text as possible. Do not design a slide presentation made up of long bullet points. Use speaker notes to convey the details you would give if you were presenting. See create speaker notes from Microsoft® for more help.
