Description

Purpose

The
purpose of this assignment is to explore your values and beliefs related to
family nursing and family health promotion and to consider how they impact decision-making
processes and professional judgment in nursing practice. By examining one’s
values and beliefs through critical reflection, assumptions in practice can be
challenged to facilitate a preliminary shift in attitude, which is part of
transformational learning (Melrose, Park, & Perry, 2013).

Outline
only key points on the slides. All additional details should be added to
the speaker notes. Ensure adequate white space on the slides.
Then,
imagine that you are presenting this information to your classmates or
colleagues in-person. Add voice over narration to your ppt slides. To
enable voice over narration select “media” (sometimes is a drop-down menu)
and “select record audio”.

some time reflecting on your choice of format for this assignment and include
your reflection in the assignment. You may want to comment on the audio,
visual, or narrative components of the chosen format that have helped you share
your reflections in this assignment.

2)
Creativity of expression is an important component in this assignment. Consider
the use of photos, graphics, or other elements that would help illustrate your
values and beliefs of family nursing and family health promotion as they relate
to the patient bios in this assignment. Note: Ensure that the photos, graphics,
or other elements chosen are cited and referenced in accordance to APA (current
edition). (3 marks)

3)
Transformational learning that is genuine occurs when students can converse
with peers and instructors about thoughts and feelings that relate to specific
decisions in their critical thinking process (Melrose et al., 2013). As well,
new insights can be gained in a supportive, engaging, and transformative
learning environment through critical self-reflection (Melrose et al., 2013).
In this assignment, explore and share your deeply rooted values and beliefs of
family nursing and family health promotion, as they relate to your
decision-making process in selecting patients. (4 marks)
