Introduction
As part of the critical role that EBP plays in nursing, professional nurses share their findings with their peers and others. A big part of research is sharing knowledge so that others can also learn. Professional nurses attend seminars and read journals specific to their practice, and they also publish and present what they have learned. This assessment prepares you to share your knowledge with others.
Instructions
For this assessment, you are a presenter! You will create a 5–10 minute video using Kaltura or similar software. In the video and written narrative:
· Review your findings from Assessment 3.
· Create a poster presentation based on your findings from Assessment 3 (see the samples in the

· An explanation of the diagnosis.
· The research question you developed using PICO(T).
· A summary of your sources.
· The answer to your PICO(T) question based on your analysis of evidence.
· Describe the key steps of care you are recommending based on your evidence.
· Give a professional presentation to your peers, showing your poster with your voice narration using Kaltura or similar software.
