What are the primary activities performed by the nurse, and what is the scope of practice?
Directions: Students may present alone or select a partner or work with a group (3 max.) and research a role of a nurse serving the community. Some examples include school nurses, forensic nurses, occupational health nurses, public health nurses, hospice nurses, and prison nurses. To sign up for a topic, select the People tab- RN role in the menu to the left side. Develop a 10-15 slide presentation using PowerPoint(or similar software) which must be viewed in your videotaped or YouTube presentation. (Remember the audience should be able to view the presenter and the power point presentation as they would in a classroom setting). Presentation should be approximately 10 minutes in length and if presenting with another student or group, each person should divide the time equally. In order to prevent duplication of topic students must contact instructor with the community nurse role selected, or sign up in the group section for available group slots. Be sure to include reference citations on slides when needed, and a reference page structured in current APA format. Answer the following questions in your presentation: What are the primary activities performed by the nurse, and what is the scope of practice? What are the necessary skills and abilities required for this role? What educational preparation is required to function in the role? What other disciplines or professionals does the nurse interact with in the role? What teaching/learning strategies can be applied to addressing specific issues related to the core population? What was unique or interesting that you learned about this nursing role in your research?
