    _NOTE: You will create two new electronic files for this assignment instead of typing directly into this document._

    **Overview: Capstone Project – Presentation and Evaluation**

    Your project should represent high-quality work – something you would expect to see in a professional setting. Perhaps your employer will be interested in facilitating its use in a real-life situation!

    You will upload your PowerPoint for grading. You will also upload the forms or documents you would use for evaluation (two evaluation tools will be created) of your information dissemination. These might be in the form of informal observation records and/or formal tests or questionnaires. (This evaluation portion will be submitted as one Word document. See below for all that must be included). There is a separate portal for each portion of the assignment.

    **Objectives**

    Design evaluation tools to accompany your project.

    **Instructions**

    The written portions for Assignment 2 and 3 are due Saturday night (see details below). However, you will plan and present by Wednesday night in order to have your evaluation tools that you create available to distribute to the audience and address results for the Module 5 Discussion Boards. You need audience feedback to finalize the written portion of the assignment.

    **PowerPoint Portion of Assignment (Assignment 2):**

    **Presentation**

    You will submit a Power Point presentation containing a title slide, 10-15 slides each with comprehensive content demonstrating use of your peer-reviewed sources, and reference slides. Remember to include a source for each image or graphic included on the slides; this is easiest done directly on the slide under or next to the image. Your "talking points" are considered speaker notes and should contain 20-30 minutes of "talk time." Information read directly from the slide should be included in the speaker notes. We recommend you time yourself while reading your speaker notes to determine if your presentation is within the 20-30 minutes for content. Your speaker notes should be written exactly as you would be speaking to your audience. You do need to include citations in your speaker notes. Be sure to include all of your references on the reference slide(s).

    **Evaluation Portion of Project (Assignment 3):**

    **(This will be one document with all of the following included in that document)**

    **Title Page**

    Create a title page according to the standard for the UTA College of Nursing.

    **Evaluation (2 Tools are required – one for quality and one for content)**

    You may create a new Word document for most of the types of evaluation tools you would use, such as tests, questionnaires, charts for observations notes, etc. Create two evaluation tools. Include all in the same file as separate pages with clear headings and instructions designating the use of each tool.

    Other types of evaluation tools you might use are databases or spreadsheets. It is important that you design such tools so that you need only to upload and submit
    _one_ file, though, so if you use a combination of Word documents and spreadsheets, copy/paste the contents of the spreadsheets into the Word document to create a single file.

    **Evaluation form requirements: You must submit two evaluation forms.** One form will address evaluation of content (example: a post-test or survey, audit form) and one form will address quality (rate the presentation, speaker, and environment; consider using a Likert scale).
    **Remember you will create both forms for this assignment**. Do
    not copy forms from other sources. Include the time, place, and who you presented presentation. Also, discussion on the methods you used to evaluate your project. Include why the method, how you will use the results, and plans for improvement.

    **Grid**

    You will include the full completed grid from Module 3. Please be sure to make any needed changes based on feedback from your coach.

    **Evaluation Paragraph**

    You must include at least a paragraph (minimum 100 words) to discuss the methods to evaluate your Project. Include why the method you have chosen to evaluate the project is appropriate. Include in your paragraph how will you will take results from the evaluation and change or improve the presentation.

    **Reference Page**

    Create a formal reference page including all of your nine (or more) references from your project. Please be sure to use formal APA format. Refer to your APA manual for any questions.

A reminder to observe HIPPA guidelines for confidentiality of patient information if you are using patient data or identifiers.

    You will upload your PowerPoint for grading. You will also upload the forms or documents you would use for evaluation (two evaluation tools will be created) of your information dissemination. These might be in the form of informal observation records and/or formal tests or questionnaires. (This evaluation portion will be submitted as one Word document. See below for all that must be included). There is a separate portal for each portion of the assignment.

    **Objectives**

    Design evaluation tools to accompany your project.

    **Instructions**

    The written portions for Assignment 2 and 3 are due Saturday night (see details below). However, you will plan and present by Wednesday night in order to have your evaluation tools that you create available to distribute to the audience and address results for the Module 5 Discussion Boards. You need audience feedback to finalize the written portion of the assignment.

    **PowerPoint Portion of Assignment (Assignment 2):**

    **Presentation**

    You will submit a Power Point presentation containing a title slide, 10-15 slides each with comprehensive content demonstrating use of your peer-reviewed sources, and reference slides. Remember to include a source for each image or graphic included on the slides; this is easiest done directly on the slide under or next to the image. Your "talking points" are considered speaker notes and should contain 20-30 minutes of "talk time." Information read directly from the slide should be included in the speaker notes. We recommend you time yourself while reading your speaker notes to determine if your presentation is within the 20-30 minutes for content. Your speaker notes should be written exactly as you would be speaking to your audience. You do need to include citations in your speaker notes. Be sure to include all of your references on the reference slide(s).

    **Evaluation Portion of Project (Assignment 3):**

    **(This will be one document with all of the following included in that document)**

    **Title Page**

    Create a title page according to the standard for the UTA College of Nursing.

    **Evaluation (2 Tools are required – one for quality and one for content)**

    You may create a new Word document for most of the types of evaluation tools you would use, such as tests, questionnaires, charts for observations notes, etc. Create two evaluation tools. Include all in the same file as separate pages with clear headings and instructions designating the use of each tool.

    Other types of evaluation tools you might use are databases or spreadsheets. It is important that you design such tools so that you need only to upload and submit
    _one_ file, though, so if you use a combination of Word documents and spreadsheets, copy/paste the contents of the spreadsheets into the Word document to create a single file.

    **Evaluation form requirements: You must submit two evaluation forms.** One form will address evaluation of content (example: a post-test or survey, audit form) and one form will address quality (rate the presentation, speaker, and environment; consider using a Likert scale).
    **Remember you will create both forms for this assignment**. Do
    not copy forms from other sources. Include the time, place, and who you presented presentation. Also, discussion on the methods you used to evaluate your project. Include why the method, how you will use the results, and plans for improvement.

    **Grid**

    You will include the full completed grid from Module 3. Please be sure to make any needed changes based on feedback from your coach.

    **Evaluation Paragraph**

    You must include at least a paragraph (minimum 100 words) to discuss the methods to evaluate your Project. Include why the method you have chosen to evaluate the project is appropriate. Include in your paragraph how will you will take results from the evaluation and change or improve the presentation.

    **Reference Page**

    Create a formal reference page including all of your nine (or more) references from your project. Please be sure to use formal APA format. Refer to your APA manual for any questions.

    Certification and Licensure

    ![A few women in scrubs smiling AI-generated content may be incorrect.](https://www.sweetstudy.com/questions/discussionreply)

    Now that you are in your final course in your program, it is time to turn in earnest to preparing for certification and licensure. You will need to take and pass a national FNP certification exam.  Once certified, you will then be eligible to apply for licensure as an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) in the state desired. It will be up to you to ensure you are knowledgeable about the practice agreements, scope of practice, and prescriptive authority in your state.

    Although there is a movement called the APRN Consensus Model to standardize NP regulations nationally, it is still the case that requirements vary state to state. In some states, NPs may establish independent practice without the supervision of an MD. Additionally, states are currently categorized as either allowing full practice, reduced practice, or restricted practice. Full practice states allow NPs to evaluate, order diagnostics, diagnose, and treat patients. They are licensed under the exclusive authority of the state board of nursing for the appropriate state. Many states may require prescriptive authority protocols in addition to collaborative agreement.

    Another important area to consider and plan for is prescriptive authority. Prescriptive authority is granted under state law by the appropriate board. The board granting prescriptive authority may be the medical board, state board of pharmacy, or nursing board for the appropriate state licensure being pursued. The authority to write for a
    controlled substance is granted at a federal level and is verified through the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) by the appropriate state board. Drug Enforcement Agency registration is granted at the federal level and has additional requirements/fees for the registration process.

    Finally, the legal landscape for NPs is constantly changing as the status of NPs as providers improves on a national level. Legislative changes may occur annually, bi-annually, or during an emergency legislative meeting at the state or federal level. These legislative sessions and any subsequent changes will significantly impact your scope of practice as a nurse practitioner.

    For this Discussion, you examine professional issues for your state, including certification and licensure, scope of practice, independent practice, prescriptive authority, and legislative activities.
