The document discusses best practices for PowerPoint presentations based on recent research. It recommends including no more than six words per line and six lines per slide, using an appropriate font size, and not reading slides verbatim. The author plans to incorporate these practices when presenting their DNP project and teaching skills. Implementation of their depression screening project is progressing as planned with less staff resistance and increased screening rates. An unexpected benefit is that front desk staff now help patients schedule mental health appointments.

[From 10$/Pg] Efl Students ’ ContentDanay Sosa, Thank you to those who serve our
country, giving their lives for our freedom. Today we remember them and extend our
gratefulness and condolences to their families. PICOT: For pregnant patients, during weeks
38-40 of gestation, does screening for depression with the Edinburgh Postpartum
Depression Scale, compared to current practice (postpartum period only), impact earlier
identification and referrals to counseling in 8-10 weeks?Discuss what you learned about the
presentation from your readings this week. How will you incorporate what you learned
about best practices for PowerPoint and professional presentations in your Project
Implementation Presentation assignment and future presentations?PowerPoint (PP) has
become a popular tool for public speaking. It helps to guide the presentation by giving clues
to what will be the next idea. Recent research focuses on the impact of PP on students and
their retention rates (Gordani, & Khajavi, Y., 2019). Best practices in PowerPoint are
implemented during professional presentations by not having more than six words per line
and no more than six lines per slide. Another crucial aspect of an appealing display is
appropriate font size. The audience should be capable of following the slide without effort.
Medicine is a field where PP presentations help lecture students successfully (Tarkowski,
2017). The PowerPoint is only a guiding tool and should not be used to read off the entire
slide. I plan to incorporate these best practices when presenting my DNP project at a
conference. Learning how to give in public can also help me improve my teaching skills. I
teach electronic fetal monitoring, a class that lasts two 8 hours a day. This class tends to be
boring, and it is because the presentation is crowded with many details. Even though the
Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric, and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) owns the
course, I could provide feedback on my new skills regarding presentations.Share your
implementation progress and any successes, barriers, or challenges you are experiencing
with your project implementation.Implementation continues as planned. As I mentioned
last week, the staff is less resistant to the new intervention. Patients cooperate as they do
not sense any difference from their prior visits. Screening has increased. An unforeseen
difference from the planned implementation is that the front desk staff will help the
patients obtain an appointment with a mental health provider. Finding and making an
appointment for mental healthcare is an additional stress for a depressed pregnant patient.
Assisting the patients in this process will allow for improvement in the postpartum
depression incidence, which is what I initially set as my goal for this project.Kindly, Danay
