Maternal-Newborn Nursing
Instructions: This assignment is broken into 2 parts and will be completed as an individual. Take a moment to read ALL instructions PRIOR to beginning this assignment.
Rationale: As a nurse and citizen of the world, you will come in contact with individuals that are different; different beliefs, different religions, different facial or body features, different needs, different desires, and so on. As a nurse, it is imperative that these differences do not cloud your judgment or medical care of those that are different from you. This is your opportunity to learn about other humans and the field of nursing from a cultural perspective.
Presentation: This is your opportunity to be creative.
You may utilize Powerpoint, Prezi, Screencast-o-matic or a similar platform to present the following information.
Your presentation will be a maximum of 20 minutes.
You will create an engaging presentation with highlights (bullet points rather than sentences) and relevant visuals (not warranted on every slide).
