Family Education Rights: Ethical/Legal Issue PowerPoint Assignment Guide

Introduction

For this assessment, you will create a professional presentation on one of the ethical/legal issues in the media piece and provide a way to prevent this occurrence in the future. The presentation should be less than 20 minutes, recorded using Kaltura, and it should include a Word document with the speaker notes. Be sure to address any diversity, equity, and inclusion issues that may impact the audience, and describe the changes and evaluation you will incorporate to improve practice.

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. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community.

Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.

• How does the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) impact the work of a professor in a university-based nursing program?
• How would you handle plagiarism in the nursing classroom?

In this assessment, you will create a PowerPoint presentation that you could use to teach a group about a legal or ethical issue related to nursing or nursing education. To do so, you will select a case from the Nursing Education Legal and Ethical Scenarios media piece to be your focus.

• Review the case and take time to reflect on the change that needs to occur and the group that you will be addressing.
• Research what the group needs to know to improve the legal or ethical situation that has occurred.
• Use a minimum of seven references, a minimum of five of which should come from peer-reviewed sources.

As you conduct research, synthesize information that will be needed to evoke and sustain a change in the situation.
