As nurses we are all, no doubt, very aware of the myriad of legal and ethical issues in any health care setting. We

are familiar with licensing for health care professionals, perhaps carry our own malpractice insurance, and have

been cautioned by our employing institutions to always follow policy and procedures.

Nursing education is no different; there are specific legal and ethical issues that are of concern to nurse

educators. Some of the specific areas of which nurses working in education need to be well aware include the

following:

Faculty rights and responsibilities.

Student rights.

Clinical evaluation of students.

Academic dishonesty.

Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

In addition, it is also important to understand the responsibility of faculty regarding information about students.

This is important for both academic faculty and for clinical faculty supervising students in clinical areas.

As in clinical practice, documentation of concerns and issues that arise in educational settings can be very

important.

In this assessment, you will create a PowerPoint presentation that you could use to teach a group about a legal

or ethical issue related to nursing or nursing education. To do so, you will select a case from the Nursing

Education Legal and Ethical Scenarios | Transcript media piece to be your focus.

Review the case and take time to reflect on the change that needs to occur and the group that you will

be addressing.

Research what the group needs to know to improve the legal or ethical situation that has occurred.

Use a minimum of seven references, a minimum of five of which should come from peer- reviewed

sources.

As you conduct research, synthesize information that will be needed to evoke a change in the situation.

Create a 12–20 slide PowerPoint presentation that you would use to teach about the legal or ethical situation

and to create change related to that situation.

Use the speaker's notes feature to provide any additional information that you would include in the

presentation. This should include any cultural sensitivity aspects and how the content is expected to make

a change regarding the issue being addressed.

Context Slides

For the 2–4 contextual slides (which are not considered part of the actual presentation but rather should contain

information that you as a presenter would need to consider in your preparation and presentation):

Discuss any specific cultural and/or diversity aspects of the presentation that could be significant in the

learning process. Include references and sources used to inform this.

Analyze how the presentation may result in a significant change in the identified environment. Cite any

relevant sources.
