Note: Each assessment in this course builds on your work from the preceding assessment; therefore, complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.

The ability of care coordinators to deliver effective presentations can have a significant impact on the quality of patient care, particularly when addressing a diverse group of stakeholders, including the patient, family members, and multiple providers in a range of different settings. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to present Mrs. Snyder’s case to stakeholders. A presentation of your Patient’s Case for Stakeholders

Preparation

As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint.

• • Why would oral or visual case presentation be an important skill for nurse leaders?

  • How might you tailor the content or approach of your presentation to your target audience?
