I selected new graduate registered nurses as my target audience to improve their understanding of heart failure prior to entering the health care field.
The objectives that I set for the project were for the audience to know why it is so important to understand CHF, to provide a thorough description of the illness along with each type of heart …show more content…

The lesson started off with a small amount of awkward silence and it was easy to feel the nervousness in the room. However, I have given many presentations with my previous jobs and am fairly comfortable speaking to a wide range of audiences. The class quickly relaxed after I had everyone give brief introductions of themselves and what they expected to learn from the course. The PowerPoint was started as soon as the packets were handed out, and all questions were requested to be held until the end of the presentation. Each slide was given a time allotment of 3 minutes, with the presentation lasting a total of 50 minutes. The lesson went smoothly and received positive feedback on the type and amount of material that was provided. However, I would prefer to add more visual guides if I were to teach this subject matter again. For instance, videos showing clearer pictures of heart failure would provide the class with better visualizations, rather than the quick video clips that were on the PowerPoint slides that were shown.

    My current practice setting is primarily based out of the hospital and quality care measures as well as cost analyses are certainly of big concern this day and time. Providers are constantly making sure that all "quality indicators" are present on each and every cardiac consult that is encountered and making sure that the documentation supports the reason why a certain "quality indicator" is not indicated on the individual patient. What I find thought provoking is that although I may discharge a chronic systolic heart failure patient on all the core measure medications and they demonstrated improvement while in the hospital for the 3 to 4 days that they are allowed for that admission, they still bounce right back into the hospital for "congestive

From what I remember, I did not use filler words such as “um,” “uh,” and “like” too often, and also did not pause to find my place in my speech. This allowed my speaking to flow without any unnecessary respites in my presentation and meet the timed goal of less than 5 minutes. Pertaining to my body language, I was able to prevent any bad habits such as swaying my body, fidgeting with my clothing and hands, and unneeded handling of my note cards. I had a sufficient amount of hand gestures towards my audience and my Powerpoint.
