QUESTION

The nurse is preparing teaching material for a class of diabetic clients. The most important aspect when preparing a presentation with slides for group teaching is

a. the inclusion of greater than five items per slide.
b. use of large font so all participants can see from a distance.
c. use of slides as the primary content for the presentation.
d. having the presenter face the slides, not the audience.

ANSWER:

ANS: B
Use slides to identify key points. Slides help you stay on track and move through the agenda. The font should be large enough to see from a distance (32 point is recommended). Include no more than four or five items per slide. Face the audience, not the slides. Practice your presentation to ensure that you keep within the time frame and allot time for short discussion points. It is up to you as the presenter to set the pace. No matter how interesting the presentation and dialogue that it stimulates, running out of time is frustrating for the audience.
