Assignment-PowerPoint
The purpose of this assignment is to create a PowerPoint to
present your proposal at your work site for a change to practice
based on the evidence that you located. Within the notes section
of the PowerPoint, you will identify your keeper studies along
with the study design and major findings. You will also explain
how the articles were appraised and synthesized based on the
Evidence and Synthesis Tables, which you completed during
Weeks 6-7. You will discuss how you compared the studies for
similarities and differences, any noted inconsistencies, the
connection to your PICOT, and how it answered your PICOT
question. You are to explain how the literature supports your
proposed change to practice and thoroughly describe your
proposed implementation/action plan-what you are proposing,
how you will implement it, what steps you will take, how you
will evaluate the change, etc. You will also apply a change
theory that you think best fits your implementation plan. You
may use any change theory in chapter 15 of the Melnyk
textbook or Lewin’s Change Theory, which is located in Weeks
8-9 of the course. Do not just describe the theory, but also apply
it to your proposed change. Check once more to make sure you

2. have addressed every area in the grading rubric, including the
answer to your PICOT question.
** Please note that the Evidence Based Practice Model is NOT a
change theory but rather the model you have been following
throughout this quarter as you developed your evidence- based
change to practice.
You will create a 14-18 slide PowerPoint that includes your
PICOT question, background, significance, search, evidence,
and synthesis of the evidence. You will then present your
implementation plan using the chosen Change Theory as a
guide. Develop the PowerPoint presentation using the following
criteria:
1. Develop a 14-18 slide PowerPoint to thoroughly describe the
EBP process that you have completed this quarter and how your
PICOT question has been answered. You will also add the
implementation/action plan where you will explain in detail
what your proposed change to practice will be and how you will
implement and evaluate it. 2. The title slide, reference slides,
and any heading slides are NOT included in the 14 slide
minimum. 3. Identify the purpose of the presentation in the first
slide or two. 4. Provide the PICOT question along with the
background and significance.
5. A full description of Stakeholders must be included-see
grading rubric. If you are unfamiliar with the term
“Stakeholders” refer to page 536 of your Melnyk textbook.
6. Include a slide for references in APA 7th edition format.
There should be a minimum of 6 scholarly references within the
five year time frame (webpages are not included in the 6
reference minimum).
7. Slides will contain only brief speaking points. You will type
in the notes section below the slides a thorough explanation of
EACH slide along with all citations. Avoid wordiness on the
slides-keep it simple with just speaking points. Due to
compatibility issues, do not record your comments-use notes
section only to explain each slide.

3. 8. You will also submit a Word doc to Turnitin with the notes
from each slide. Just copy and paste from your pptx into a word
doc-do not worry about formatting correctly in this document, it
is just to check the similarity to previous papers. List as Slide 1,
then notes, Slide 2, then notes, etc. The similarity percent needs
to be below 24%. Do NOT include the references which will
elevate the similarity percent.
**Please note that the proposed change to practice cannot be a
recommendation for further research. This is an EBP project
where you have completed the steps in analyzing and
synthesizing the findings from existing research to design a
change to practice based on what you found. It is unacceptable
to determine there is no need for a change from current practice.
Submission Process: There are two steps to the submission
process:
1. Submit the notes from each slide (except the references) as a
Word doc to the Turnitin Link in the assignment area. Turnitin
is a web-based software that detects plagiarism. Submit the
Word document early to check for similarity index (originality
report) which should be below 24%. Just copy and paste from
your ppt into a word doc. Do NOT submit the reference slides to
Turnitin.
2. The PowerPoint presentation will be submitted to the
Assignment Dropbox through the link in the assignment area
labeled “PowerPoint Presentation” by the due date listed in the
course calendar. The file must be saved as a PowerPoint (pptx
file) to be viewed. Points will be deducted if submitted in any
other format including a pdf.
There is no need to resubmit the search tables, Evidence and
Synthesis tables, “keeper articles” or Critical Appraisal Tools
(CAT) unless you have changed articles since completing the
Evidence and Synthesis Tables. Upload any new articles and
corresponding Critical Appraisal Tool under Assignments
“revised articles”

We’ll look at this case in class: George v. Adler
On 11 May 1963, Frank Adler, while within the boundaries of
Marham Royal Air Force station, obstructed Albert George, a
police superintendent engaged in security duties at the station.
Adler was charged with contravening section 3 of the Official
Secrets Act 1920 (UK). The section provided:
No person in the vicinity of any prohibited place shall obstruct,
knowingly mislead or otherwise interfere with or impede, the
chief officer or a superintendent or other officer of police, or
any member of His Majesty’s forces engaged on guard, sentry,
patrol, or other similar duty in relation to the prohibited place,
and, if any person acts in contravention of, or fails to comply
with, this provision, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanour.
If you had been Adler’s lawyer, what argument would you have
made to claim that this Act doesn’t apply? Use the dictionary to
help you make your case.
If you had been on George’s side, how would you have argued?
