Overview
Create an 8–10-slide mobilization plan PowerPoint presentation
(with detailed speaker's notes) for a mobilization plan by your
health care organization to commit 20 nurses to participate in a
4-month-long multinational effort to treat patients exposed to a
highly contagious virus in a hot zone in Africa.
Nursing leaders must incorporate approaches that are inclusive
and respectful of all stakeholders in the health care workforce,
patient population, and the larger community that is served by

13. the organization. Communication among members of teams,
between departments and service lines, within large networks,
with strategic business partners, and with patients, families, or
support persons requires awareness of various facets of
effective communication and cultural competence. A
mobilization plan for an international medical mission requires
careful planning of organizational structure roles, power
distribution, and team member empowerment.

demonstrate your proficiency in the following course
competencies and assessment criteria:
· Competency 1: Identify nursing leadership priorities using a
systems perspective.

Context
Power
Leadership is often referred to as a power relationship and to be
in a leadership role is to have some degree of power (Grossman
& Valiga, 2013). The power that comes as a natural part of
being a leader can be used most effectively not by control; but
by influencing the direction of a group and the accomplishment
of a vision. Power does not come just from having a position of
authority; but also from having self-confidence, knowledge, a
sense of purpose, and commitment to an ideal. Good
communication skills, flexibility, a willingness to collaborate
with others, as well as being open to other ideas and risks are
sources of power. Leaders empower others by sharing the vision
and inspiring commitment to a project or mission.

Questions to Consider
To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider
the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a
work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the health
care community.
. When do you feel powerful in your practice as a nurse?
6. When do you feel powerless?
6. What are the differences in how you respond in those
situations?
. Does having influence equate to having power?
. Do you feel that power comes only with having a position and

15. title, or do you see power coming from other means, that is,
clinical competence, collaboration, or knowledge?

17. Assessment Instructions
Preparation
Use the library and the Internet to help you complete this
assessment. For help using PowerPoint, refer to the Microsoft
Tutorials and other resources located in the Suggested
Resources and left navigation menu of the courseroom.
This assessment is based upon the scenario below. The scenario
is very limited in detail; where more detail is needed,
incorporate any assumptions you make to flesh out the scenario.
It is intended to assess your ability to communicate your
approach to a challenge by evaluating issues of organization,
leadership, safety, quality improvement, multiculturalism and
diversity.
Your approach should be very conceptual and high-level.
Scenario
Your health care organization has recently committed 20 nurses
to participate in a 4-month-long multinational effort to treat
patients exposed to a highly contagious virus in a "hot zone" in
Africa. The director of your organization has asked you,
because of your previous medical mission experience, to outline
nursing-related plans for preparing for the mobilization and
present this information at an upcoming staff meeting.
Deliverable: Mobilization Plan PowerPoint Presentation
Create an 8–10-slide PowerPoint presentation (with detailed
speaker's notes) of your mobilization plan. It should be targeted
toward members of the hospital's administrative staff, nurses,
and the physicians who will also participate in this medical
mission.
. Use bullet points and phrases on the slides.
. The narrative, or explanation for each slide, should be in the
speaker's notes section.
The mobilization plan should address the following:
. Identify the major stakeholders within the health care system
that would be affected by the mobilization plan.
. Analyze how the mobilization effort will impact staffing
patterns and nursing care at the hospital.

18. . Describe the medical mission team's organizational structure
of the mission team and how power is distributed.
26. Include one slide of an organizational diagram for the
mission.
1. Describe the roles (in the speaker's notes).
. Assess how the organizational structure empowers team
members.
27. Provide 1–2 examples of how team members will have
power.
. Identify key actions needed to assure quality of care and safety
for mission patients and personnel.
. Evaluate potential power issues that may arise when dealing
with a multinational contingent.
29. (Be generic; that is, do not address individual nationalities,
races, et cetera.)
29. Consider interactions with health care personnel from other
countries.
. Examine potential multicultural and diversity issues that
mission personnel may encounter.
30. Consider that the indigenous population may be hostile to
treatment.
30. Outline possible training requirements to improve cultural
competencies of the personnel.
Additional Requirements
. Written communication: Written communication should be free
of errors that detract from the overall message.
. APA formatting: Resources and in-text citations should be
formatted according to current APA style and formatting.
. Length: Presentation should be 8–10 slides. Include speaker's
notes on each content slide.

resources on the final slide (in APA format).

template.
