Medication Administration Improvement PlanImprovement Plan In-Service Presentation
For this assessment, you will develop an 8 slide PowerPoint presentation with thorough
speaker’s notes designed for a hypothetical in-service session related to the safe medication
administration improvement plan you developed in Assessment 2. As a practicing
professional, you are likely to present educational in-services or training to staff pertaining
to quality improvement (QI) measures of safety improvement interventions. Such in-
services and training sessions should be presented in a creative and innovative manner to
hold the audience’s attention and promote knowledge acquisition and skill application that
changes practice for the better. The teaching sessions may include a presentation, audience
participation via simulation or other interactive strategy, audiovisual media, and participant
learning evaluation. The use of in-services and/or training sessions has positive
implications for nursing practice by increasing staff confidence when providing care to
specific patient populations. It also allows for a safe and nonthreatening environment
where staff nurses can practice their skills prior to a real patient event. Participation in
learning sessions fosters a team approach, collaboration, patient safety, and greater patient
satisfaction rates in the health care environment (Patel Wright, 2018). As you prepare to
complete the assessment, consider the impact of in-service training on patient outcomes as
well as practice outcomes for staff nurses. Be sure to your thoughts on the effectiveness of
educating and training staff to increase the quality of care provided to patients by
examining the literature and established best practices. You are encouraged to explore the
AONE Nurse Executive Competencies Review activity before you develop the Improvement
Plan In-Service Presentation. This activity will help you review your understanding of the
AONE Nurse Executive Competencies – especially those related to competencies relevant to
developing an effective training session and presentation. This is for your own practice and
self-assessment, and demonstrates your engagement in the course. Demonstration of
Proficiency By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your
proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: • • • NURSFPX

session focusing on safe medication administration for nurses. • Explain audience’s role in
and importance of making the improvement plan focusing on medication administration
successful. Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly, evidence-based strategies to
communicate in a manner that s safe and effective patient care. • Communicate with
nurses in a respectful and informative way that clearly presents expectations and solicits
feedback on communication strategies for future improvement. Reference Patel, S., Wright,
M. (2018). Development of interprofessional simulation in nursing education to improve
teamwork and collaboration in maternal child nursing. Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic,
Neonatal Nursing, 47(3), s16-s17. Professional Context As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse,
you will often find yourself in a position to lead and educate other nurses. This colleague-to-
colleague education can take many forms, from mentoring to informal explanations on best
practices to formal in-service training. Inservices are an effective way to train a large group.
Preparing to run an in-service may be daunting, as the facilitator must develop his or her
message around the topic while designing activities to help the target audience learn and
practice. By improving understanding and competence around designing and delivering in-
service training, a BSN practitioner can demonstrate leadership and prove him- or herself a
valuable resource to others. Scenario For this assessment it is suggested you take one of two
approaches: 1. Build on the work that you have done in your first two assessments and
create an agenda and PowerPoint of an educational in-service session that would help a
specific staff audience learn, provide feedback, and understand their roles and practice new
skills related to your safety improvement plan pertaining to medication administration, or
2. Locate a safety improvement plan through an external resource and create an agenda and
PowerPoint of an educational in-service session that would help a specific staff audience
learn, provide feedback, and understand their roles and practice new skills related to the
issues and improvement goals pertaining to medication administration safety. Instructions
The final deliverable for this assessment will be a PowerPoint presentation with detailed
presenter’s notes representing the material you would deliver at ;an in-service session to
raise awareness of your chosen safety improvement initiative focusing on medication
administration and to explain the need for it. Additionally, you must educate the audience as
to their role and importance to the success of the initiative. This includes providing
examples and practice opportunities to test out new ideas or practices related to the safety
improvement initiative. Be sure that your presentation addresses the following, which
corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide
carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score. • • • • • NURSFPX

drive the improvement plan. • Explain why they are critical to the success of the
improvement plan focusing on medication administration. • Describe how their work could
benefit from embracing their role in the plan. • Part 4: New Process and Skills Practice. •
Explain new processes or skills. • Develop an activity that allows the staff audience to
practice and ask questions about these new processes and skills. • In the notes section of
your PowerPoint, brainstorm potential responses to likely questions or concerns. • Part 5:
Soliciting Feedback. • Describe how you would solicit feedback from the audience on the
improvement plan and the in-service. • Explain how you might integrate this feedback for
future improvements. Remember to account for activity and discussion time. Additional
Requirements • • Presentation length: There is no required length; use just enough slides to
address all the necessary elements. Remember to use short, concise bullet points on the
slides and expand on your points in the presenter’s notes.NURSFPX 4020 Safe Medication

Name (no credentials) School of Nursing and Health Sciences, Capella University Course
Number: Course Name Instructor’s Name Month, Year 2 Abstract An abstract is useful in
professional papers, but not always in learner assignments. In fact, unless you are
instructed by your faculty or in the course syllabus, do not expect to use abstracts very often
at Capella. If you are submitting for publication, remember to check with the journal or
professional organization about their criteria for an abstract. The abstract tells your reader
about the article, is brief, and stands alone, so no citations are included. The format for an
abstract is a single paragraph (not indented on the first line) that follows the title page and
is less than 250 words in length. A structured abstract will have a single paragraph without
indentation but having labels (e.g., Objective, Method, Results, and Conclusions) on the same
line as the text and bold. For published works, the publishing organization will give you
guidance on these. However, for student papers, no abstract is needed unless the faculty
request one or the assignment requires it. Remember, no citations. Keywords: include
keywords in the abstract—they should be labeled like this, with the words all in lowercase
and separated by commas. Only the first line is indented, like a regular paragraph. No period
at the end. 3 APA Style Seventh Edition Paper Template: A Resource for Academic Writing
American Psychological Association (APA) style is one of the most popular methods used to
cite sources in the social sciences, but it is not the only one. When writing papers in the
programs offered at Capella University, you will likely use APA style. This document serves
as an APA style resource for the seventh edition guidelines, containing valuable information
that you can use when writing academic papers. For more information on APA style, refer to
the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, also referred to as the
APA manual (American Psychological Association, 2020b). The first section of this paper
shows how an introduction effectively introduces the reader to the topic of the paper. In
APA style, an introduction never gets a heading.
