POWERPOINT

• Choose formatting that presents yourinformation in the most logical way.
• Use consistent, grammatically parallel
format for bulleted lists (for example,
on this slide, each element begins with an
imperative verb).
• You can also consult APA’s suggestions on
formatting lists.
• End bullet points consistently, either with or
without a period.
• Keep font of text consistent.
• Be sure headings are consistent in their
spacing, placement, size, etc.
• Consider using the slide after the title slide
to summarize your presentation’s
points (like an abstract for a paper).
Your slides can also contain entire
paragraphs, like this one does. In both
paragraphs and bulleted lists in your
presentation, citation rules apply just as
they do in papers: when using or referencing
another author’s ideas, you must
cite that source. When incorporating a
citation in a slide, do so just as you would
in a traditional paper: According to Jones
(2020), presentations are not very
different from papers.
• According to Smith and Cat (2020), you
should make your presentation
great, not just good.
Use APA style rules to format any tables
and figures in your presentation:
Figure 1
Title Reflecting Figure
Information
Note. Any needed
general notes on figure.
From “Utilizing Bar Graphs,” by A. Jones, 2020,
Journal of Handy Graphs, 76(2), p. 3
(https://doi.org/10.123.45/abc). Reprinted with
permission.
• Always include a reference list at the end
of your presentation, just like you
would in a paper. Reference list entries take
the same format they would in
a paper, including a hanging indent. Visit the
Common Reference List Examples page for
the correct APA format. Here are
a few examples:

The Assignment
Imagine you are conducting a “lunch and learn” session for your colleagues at your place of
employment. You would like to share findings from a recent study on a topic that you
think is applicable to nursing practice. Create a PowerPoint presentation that explains the
implications of the research study you selected for nursing practice.
The slides should contain the following:
1. Title Slide
2. Summary of Research Study
3. Research Design
4. Sample population and selection methods
5. Data Collection Methods
6. Data Analysis Method and Results
7. Strengths of Study (including methods)
8. Weaknesses of Study (including methods)
9. Conclusion: Impact of Study on Nursing Practice
10. Reference Slide with citation for selected article in APA format
All text on the presentations should be in your own words. You should not copy and
paste any information directly from the article. Cite all sources in APA format.
Record your PowerPoint presentation with a voiceover. You may also use the camera
option to add a talking head to your PowerPoint presentation. (Note: Kaltura also has
basic editing capabilities, if you need to edit parts of your presentation before submitting
the final version).
Submit a 5- to 8-minute video of your presentation. In addition, generate a PDF
document with your slide notes and submit it as a separate file.
