DNP 805 Topic 2: emerging technologies presentation

Administrators and bedside nurses are in the same room and want different things: one needs the cost and risk case, the other needs to know what changes on their shift. A deck that serves only one has failed half its brief.

Editorial process

Last reviewed · August 15, 2026

01

Two audiences in one deck

The audience is the design constraint and the assignment states it precisely: administrators and nurses providing direct patient care, together. Those two groups need different evidence from the same slides. Administrators want the problem it solves, what it costs, what it saves, what the implementation and regulatory risk is, and what the evidence base actually shows — they have seen technologies fail. Bedside nurses want to know what changes on their shift: whether it adds documentation, whether it will work at three in the morning, who they call when it does not, and whether they were consulted before it was bought. Address both explicitly rather than hoping one presentation covers them. The strongest structure gives each technology a short segment that answers both questions, which is more useful than splitting the deck into a management half and a clinical half that each group half-listens to.

Choose technologies you can evidence rather than the most futuristic ones on the list. The prompt spans the electronic health record through nanotechnology and 3-D printing, and those sit at very different maturities: the record is universal and its evidence base concerns optimisation, 3-D printing has real current use in surgical planning and prosthetics, and nanotechnology is mostly still promissory in clinical practice. Say where each sits, since honesty about maturity is what makes the rest credible to an administrator. The framing the prompt supplies — linking and organising care and information — is worth keeping as the deck's spine, because it is the thread connecting technologies that otherwise have nothing in common. Then close on adoption rather than on the technology itself: diffusion of innovation gives you a vocabulary for why clinically superior systems fail when clinicians were not involved in selecting them, and that message is the one both halves of your audience need to hear from a DNP-prepared nurse.

Likely learning objectives

Inferred from the brief — check these against your own rubric.

  • 01
    Design a presentation serving two audiences with different evidence needs.
  • 02
    Assess technologies by maturity rather than by novelty.
  • 03
    Use a single organising frame to connect unrelated technologies.
  • 04
    Explain adoption failure through clinician involvement rather than resistance.

Unsatisfactory 2. Less Than Satisfactory 3. Satisfactory 4. Good 5. Excellent Layout Layout 0 points The layout is cluttered, confusing, and does not use spacing, headings, and subheadings to enhance the readability. The text is extremely difficult to read with long blocks of text, small point size for fonts, and inappropriate contrasting colors. Poor use of headings, subheadings, indentations, or bold formatting is evident. 2.8 points The layout shows some structure, but appears cluttered and busy or distracting with large gaps of white space or a distracting background. Overall readability is difficult due to lengthy paragraphs, too many different fonts, dark or busy background, overuse of bold, or lack of appropriate indentations of text. 3.08 points The layout uses horizontal and vertical white space appropriately. Sometimes the fonts are easy to read, but in a few places the use of fonts, italics, bold, long paragraphs, color, or busy background detracts and does not enhance readability. 3.22 points The layout background and text complement each other and enable the content to be easily read. The fonts are easy to read and point size varies appropriately for headings and text. 3.5 points The layout is visually pleasing and contributes to the overall message with appropriate use of headings, subheadings, and white space.

Review before submission

Common mistakes

  • Designing for one audience and leaving the other unserved.
  • Choosing the most futuristic technologies and having no evidence for them.
  • Presenting nanotechnology as current clinical practice.
  • Losing the organising frame, leaving a list of unrelated technologies.
  • Framing adoption failure as clinician resistance rather than as poor selection process.

Submission checklist

  • Does each segment answer both the administrator's and the nurse's question?
  • Is each technology's maturity stated honestly?
  • Does the linking-and-organising frame hold the deck together?
  • Is there an adoption section?
  • Are the slide count and formatting requirements met?
