For this presentation, select an area of nurse practitioner (NP) practice that is of interest to you and in which you would like to see a practice change occur. Conduct a review of literature to see what is currently known about the topic and to find research support for the practice change you are recommending.  You may use a topic from the list at the link below or may investigate a topic of your choice as long as it pertains to NP practice. If you are unsure of your topic, please reach out to your instructor.  Be sure to provide speaker’s notes for all slides except the title and reference slides.  

List of Possible Topics (Links to an external site:

· Best evidence available about a topic (i.e. frequency of mammography)

· Screening recommendations (i.e. PSA for prostate cancer)

· Information about a healthcare-related phenomenon (i.e. when to talk to a person about ending treatment for a terminal illness, non-compliance of diet for individuals with congestive heart failure)

· Vaccinations for adults and/or children

· Early assessment for health-related concerns (i.e. depression in teenagers; suicide prevention for the elderly)

· Life style changes (i.e. smoking cessation, increasing activity in teenagers)

· Relationship between events or health concerns (i.e. relationship between dementia and caffeine consumption.

· Selection on an intervention (i.e. use of small group theory to lessen anxiety)

· Symptom management (i.e. pain, vomiting)

Topic : Healthcare Technology: Local, National, and Global Considerations       

Imagine  that you are a public health nurse, and you and your colleagues have  determined that the threat of a deadly new strain of influenza indicates  a need for a mass inoculation program in your community. What public  health data would have been used to determine the need for such a  program? Where would you locate public health data? What data will be  collected to determine the success of such a program? How might you  communicate this to other communities or internationally?

Description of the Assignment

An annotated bibliography is an alphabetical list of information sources (such as journal articles), formatted like a bibliography or a reference list, accompanied by a commentary, or annotation, for each source. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to learn about a topic through a critical review of literature and encourage a deeper engagement with literature to develop analytical skills

This assignment presents a method for examining several theories important and useful to the nurse practitioner role. 

Preparing the Assignment

1. For this assignment, choose from the theories/models presented in the weekly lesson.
   • Health Belief Model
   • Transtheoretical Model of Behavioral Change
   • Social Cognitive Theory
   • Family Systems Theory
   • Family Assessment and Intervention Model
   • Praxis Theory of Suffering
2. Search the library for literature. Locate 5 (five) articles related to the selected theories. You may use no more than two articles related to each theory/model.
   • Sources should be related to nursing practice using the selected theory/model.
   • Sources should be scholarly, relevant to the theory/model and to nursing, and published within the past 5 years. If source is older than 5 years, instructor permission should be obtained and the historical significance of the article should be explained.
3. Prepare an annotated entry for each source. Begin with the full APA citation of the source, followed by 2-3 paragraphs:
   • Summarize the article.
   • Describe how the article relates to the chosen theory/model.
   • Reflect on how the article could (or could not) be relevant to future Nurse Practitioner practice.

Criteria for Format and Special Instructions

1. The paper should include a separate title page using APA format. No reference page is necessary as the references will be incorporated into the body of the bibliography.
2. Entries should be alphabetized by author.
3. A minimum of 5 (five) scholarly references must be used. Required textbooks for this course, and Chamberlain College of Nursing lesson information may NOT be used as scholarly references for this assignment. Be aware that information from .com websites may be incorrect and should be avoided.
4. References are current – within a 5-year time frame unless a valid rationale is provided and the instructor has approved them.
5. In-text citations are not required in the annotated bibliography.
6. Rules of grammar, spelling, word usage, and punctuation are followed and consistent with formal, scientific writing.

This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment. 

The purpose of this assignment is to assess leadership styles, traits, and practices as a nursing professional, establish the importance of effective interprofessional communication as a leader in nursing, and to explore the role of servant leadership in nursing practice.

Read the study materials on leadership and complete the topic quiz activities to better understand your leadership qualities.

Upon completion, summarize and share with your group what you learned about your specific leadership qualities, so you can become familiar with how you are similar and different from your peers when it comes to being a leader.

As a group, review the study materials related to servant leadership. Using what you have learned about the tenets of servant leadership and traits and practices of successful leaders, create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes. Add an additional slide for references at the end of your presentation.  

Include the following in your presentation:

1.  Each group member: Create a slide that summarizes your leadership style, traits, and practices.

2.  Compare the personal leadership styles of your group members, including commonalities between group members’ strengths and weaknesses.

3.  Explain why it is important for nursing professionals to be aware of their personal leadership style, traits, and practices.

4.  Discuss what leadership traits and styles are necessary to be an effective communicator. Explain the importance of leaders adapting communication approaches when working interprofessionally (across ancillary departments, vendors, community members).

5.  Discuss how nursing professionals can benefit from integrating the tenets of servant leadership to empower and influence others as they lead.

6.  Discuss how leaders who practice servant leadership and have a strong understanding of their personal leadership traits can successfully lead others and navigate the unique challenges that are part of nursing and health care. Provide two examples that illustrate your main ideas.

You are required to cite to a minimum of three sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and relevant to nursing practice. 

Refer to the resource, “Creating Effective PowerPoint Presentations,” located in the Student Success Center, for additional guidance on completing this assignment in the appropriate style. 

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. 

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. 

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance.

You lean toward a democratic or participative style of leadership. You tend to set the parameters for the work and have the final say on decisions, but you actively involve your team members in the process.

This style can build trust between you and your people, as they’ll likely feel engaged and valued. But it’s not great in a high-pressure situation that requires a fast turnaround, as it will slow you down. And, if you dislike disagreement or conflict, you might struggle with how people respond to consultation. Read more below.
