UTI presentation Part 2 Discussion
Part of your role as an NP is that of an educator, not only for our patients, but for our colleagues as well. The research you do for your individual presentation will require you to think critically, which will serve to reinforce your knowledge. The presentation component will allow you to disseminate your new knowledge to your classmates in this adult learning model.
Create a 5-slide draft copy of your Disease Topic Presentation on the topic you selected in Week 1 in the form of a case study. Include the following elements:
- Incorporate faculty and peer feedback from Checkpoint 1.
- Analyze what is being measured physiologically through lab work and diagnostic tests.
- Interpret the meaning of abnormal lab and diagnostic test results specific to the patient’s medical problems.
- Explain emerging controversies, natural alternatives, and biopsychosocial issues that may affect the diagnosis and treatment. Include supporting evidence by using resources through Access®, the course textbook, or academic articles available in the University Library.
- Develop an age-appropriate, evidence-based treatment plan that includes how the NP can mitigate barriers that may affect diagnosis and treatment.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
