This is a TEAM project. The
guidelines below will be followed in addition to completion of a team charter
you will find in the Assignments tab.

This is a TEAMproject. You will be assigned to
teams and given an age group and type of facility (according to class size—typically
three to five students will be in a team). You must select a TEAM LEADER, who will be
responsible for submission of the Power Point AND Word
document, which will contain ONLY the speaker’s notes.(See sample
picture below)!! You will still leave all speaker’s notes within the
presentation itself.

Speaker
notes are below the slide itself, but cannot be viewed by the audience if
presenting live!

Please do not ask to change teams, because the teams will not
be changed. As nurses, we need to be able to participate as part of
a multidisciplinary team, no matter where we are located and regardless of
whether or not we are familiar with a particular individual.

All team members must complete as a
team the Team Charter Form. Each team member will identify their personal
skills inventory, including strengths, weaknesses, areas of responsibility,
deadline for completion of work, etc. on the Team Charter Form. Teams are
encouraged to use the team collaboration discussion forum to discuss deadlines,
responsibilities, appointing the team leader, etc. Teams will approve a final
version of the form prior to the deadline. Once approved by all team members,
each team member must then submit the Final Team Charter Form to their individual
student Dropbox by Sunday, end of unit 2, by 11:59 PM MT acknowledging their
assigned deadlines, due dates and responsibilities for their portion of the
Team Project.

***You will use the Group Project Team Collaboration Threads
in the Course home as a “meeting” or communication venue. Be sure you are
documenting in YOUR Team’s discussion area, identified by a color assigned to
your team! This will also serve as documentation/verification for group members
should there be instances where a group member is not contributing to the
project. (See photo below!)

It is up to the team to communicate this to the faculty. ONE, and ONLY ONE
designated group member (Team Leader) is required to submit the presentation in
the drop box ***. The team leader will also need
to submit the speaker notes in a **WORD document, which will be going through
Turnitin as well.

If more than one team member submits the
project, the Turnitin report will be very high, and Academic Integrity will be
a concern for your presentation. YOUR ENTIRE TEAM COULD THEN RECEIVE A ZERO
GRADE, so PLEASE do not make this mistake!

**For the Turnitin process and submission of the speaker notes—REMEMBER to leave the notes IN THE POWER POINT as well! This way, I will
be able to see which slides they go with! J

The Power Point WILL be going through Turnitin, so be certain
to carefully paraphrase and cite your work! This includes the SPEAKER NOTES!
See above paragraph and sample photo. Any questionable Turnitin score WILL be
evaluated, and it could result in a ZERO grade for the team, if work is not
your own.

•Application:
Use Microsoft PowerPoint 2007, 2010 or higher.

•Length: The completed presentation should be between 10-18 slides,
NOT including the title and Reference slides.

DIRECTIONS

Begin to research your assigned technology EARLY! The topic,
along with your group members, will be assigned to your team in Week 1, and can
be located in Doc Sharing (team discussion forum for this will be found in the
Course Home). Please be considerate of your team members! Remember, if you do
not participate/collaborate, you will NOT GET CREDIT! So in other words,
waiting until Saturday of the week the assignment is due will NOT work for this
presentation. You all must agree on how you will divide the work, and make sure
to set deadlines for all members of your team, AND FOLLOW THEM. I expect
ongoing and FULL communication between all team members.

1. Coordinate
individual assignments with your team. Designate a Team Leader!

2. Complete
the Team Charter document, found in the Unit 1 Assignment tab. All team members
must complete as a team the Team Charter Form. Each team member will identify
their personal skills inventory, including strengths, weaknesses, areas of
responsibility, deadline for completion of work, etc. on the Team Charter Form.
Teams are encouraged to use the team collaboration discussion forum to discuss
deadlines, responsibilities, appointing the team leader, etc. Teams will
approve a final version of the form prior to the deadline. Once approved by all
team members, each team member must then submit the Final Team Charter Form to
their individual student Dropbox by Sunday, end of unit 2, by 11:59 PM MT
acknowledging their assigned deadlines, due dates and responsibilities for
their portion of the Team Project.

3. Your
team will be assigned the specific type of facility menu to research. As a
team, you will determine in which two
regions(see United States map)to
locate these facilities. The project will be completed in a PowerPoint
presentation. The types of facilities assigned to your team could be from the
following:

a.
Daycare center: Preschool-aged children

b.
Daycare center: Geriatric adult

c.
Hospital

i. Visitor
menu

ii. Specific
hospital units (postoperative, obstetrical, or medical units) d. Nursing home

e.
Elementary schools

f.
High schools

g.
College

h.
Senior center

i.
Meals on wheels

j.
Assisted living

k.
Summer camp for school age children

l.
Community Center

m.
Soup Kitchens

n.
Correctional Facilities

o.
Military facilities

p.
Fire or Rescue Personnel

4. Analyze
the menus that the team has selected based on the following criteria.

a.
Are menu selections healthy choices or not?
Explain your rationale. (This means you must provide evidence of your analysis
of the menu— Think about proteins, fats, carbohydrates as well as vitamins and
minerals here!) It is NOT AN OPTION to say it is “Healthy” and not provide an
analysis. You
MUST ALSO provide a sample menu regardless.

b. SHOW the selected menu for the week!

c.
Nutritional requirements of age group-Is this
age group getting their RDA in all nutritional aspects of each meal? Look at
one full day, how about the entire week?

d.
Explore cultural and regional influences. Are
these included in the current menu? Are they healthy influences? Why or why
not? How could they be made healthy, if they are not?

4.Select a
day’s meals from each facility’s menu and create a sample menu with healthier
choices. (Please display the entire menu for the week, including where it is
from). When doing so, consider age, potential health concerns, cultural
influences, and regional influences.

Provide a breakdown of the menu’s
nutritional components as well as the sample menu, and explain why the sample
menu is a better choice.

5.What
barriers exist to prevent the provision of optimally healthy meals for this age
group? Think geographic area, socioeconomic issues, or other barriers
prevention a healthy and balanced diet.

6.What
nutritional benefits are being achieved for this age group? How can this be
improved upon even further?
