  2. Then answer the following questions:
    • How well do the findings of the research study described in these two articles reflect your experience clinical practice?
    • What interventions by your community health nursing faculty might make the transition to effective community health nursing practice easier for you?

This week you will be writing an outline for your final paper. Your outline must include introduction, body, and conclusion sections and be in outline format.

Research Topic 

Is telehealthcare a good option for nursing homes?

Thesis Statement 

The benefits of telehealthcare outweigh its shortcoming, and it is thus wise to adopt it in the delivery of care with advancement in technologies. 

In the introduction section of your outline, include the thesis statement you submitted for the Thesis Assignment, Your outline should stem directly from your revised thesis statement. You should also include topic sentences (for each section) and paragraph transitions that help tie your major points together.

you will need somewhere between 6-8 body paragraphs.

Helpful hints:

  • Your      outline should remain without bias. You must equally present the arguments      of both sides of the issue without revealing which side you agree with.
  • Your      outline must be written in third person.
  • Each      topic sentence should directly relate back to the thesis statement.
  • You      may use the outline template provided.
  • Remember      to use appropriate formatting as per APA (6th ed.): https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/0

Template

Expository Essay Outline Template

When you write an expository essay that presents two sides of an issue without revealing bias, there are three primary organizational tactics that can be used:

1. Present all the major arguments on one side of the issue, and then present all the major arguments of the opposing viewpoint. 

2. Present one of the major issues relating to the overarching topic, and in the same paragraph, discuss the viewpoints of both sides on this particular issue. 

3.  In one paragraph, present one of the viewpoints on one major aspect of the controversy, and then follow that paragraph with another paragraph presenting the opposing views’ arguments related to the same aspect of the controversy. You then repeat that pattern one to three more times. 

Carefully consider these options, choose one, and continue with this organizational strategy for your entire essay.

In our work and personal lives, we need to be able to identify and analyze effective verbal and nonverbal communication in various situations. In the same way that you would analyze a work or personal life communication situation, you will be asked to create a short presentation (using media choices below) about the nonverbal communication demonstrated in a series of photographs. In addition to identifying aspects of nonverbal communication, you will also need to show how these elements can affect communication both positive and negatively. Include your observations of how nonverbal elements that you see alter the direction of communication.

  1. Select four of included photographs.
  2. Using either PowerPoint or Prezi, create a presentation that demonstrates your comprehension regarding these communication elements: Please include the following:
    1. A title slide including your name.
    2. Four slides that explain aspects of the nonverbal communication that you see depicted in the photographs. Be sure to include the photograph on the slide. Be as specific and detailed as possible in your description of body language, facial expression, physical distance (if applicable), gesture, and other aspects of nonverbal communication that you see.
  3. Using Screencast-o-matic (screencast-o-matic.com) or similar software, create a short video presentation of your PowerPoint or Prezi. Explain in detail the nonverbal elements of communication that you observe in each of the four photographs you have selected. Video should be between four and seven minutes long. This video should either be of the presentation itself or a hybrid video that includes both the presentation and an inset webcam video.
  4. Upload your video to screencast-o-matic, YouTube, or similar online video sharing site and provide a link to your video. Include your PowerPoint or Prezi with your submission.
