1. Multidisciplinary team rounds.
2. An in-service for team members.

To accomplish this, think about the characteristics of the audience you will be presenting your information to:
• What type of information would be appropriate for this group?
• What style of presentation might get the information across in the best way?
• In the notes section of the first slide, describe the characteristics of your target audience.
• In the notes section of each subsequent slide, explain why you are including the information presented on the slide, and support your information with valid scholarly resources.
• The final slide should be the reference list for the resources you used in your presentation.
• There is no required number of slides for the PowerPoint presentation, but you should be sure you address the health assessment as completely as possible for your target audience.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
