You are an RN working in the Community Outreach Department at Utopia Hospital. You have been asked to present at the local Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Nutrition program for 15 expectant mothers and interested partners/spouses/caregivers. The WIC Coordinator has asked you to provide a presentation covering relevant health and environmental safety topics the parents should know for the first year of life.
In this assignment you will create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint for your presentation, with speaker notes. In developing your PowerPoint, take into consideration the health literacy level of your target audience, as well as the demographics of the expectant mothers and interested partners/spouses/caregivers (socioeconomic level, language, culture, and any other relevant characteristic of the caregiver) for which the presentation is tailored. Your presentation should be geared towards the community where you currently live, considering local concerns that may be relevant to your presentation. Include the following in your presentation:
- Anticipated developmental milestones achieved in the first year of life.
- Safety in the home for an infant.
- Safety for the sleeping environment.
- Food and nutrition safety.
- When to call your pediatrician or doctor.
Evidence-based sources should support interventions and guidance. You must cite at least three peer-reviewed sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the past five years, 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.
