As you may recall, nutrients are divided into the following six (6) categories:

• Carbohydrates
• Lipids (Fats)

• Water

For this assignment, you will need to develop an informative PowerPoint presentation that could be used to teach your classmates about a variety of nutrients from the nutrient categories (above).

1. Your PowerPoint presentation should:
2. Have a title slide.
3. Contain at least 6 content slides.
4. Reflect proper spelling and grammar.
5. Cite at least 2 credible references and present the sources in APA format on a References slide.
6. Choose five (5) specific nutrients from within the nutrient categories listed above. You may choose either:
7. a mixture of five (5) macro and micro nutrients
8. For example, you can use 2 macronutrients (such as lipids and carbohydrates) and 3 micronutrients (such as specific vitamins and minerals)
9. five (5) different vitamins or minerals
10. For example, 2 vitamins (such as A and D), 2 major minerals (such as sodium, calcium, and potassium), and 1 trace mineral (such as zinc).
11. For each of the nutrients you selected, create content slides that address the following:
12. Explain the function(s) of the nutrient within the body.
13. Describe how the nutrient is metabolized (where primarily digested, absorbed, and transported) within the body.
14. Identify the current Reference Daily Intake (RDI) for the nutrient for an average adult.

Select a research article that uses a randomized controlled trial focusing on a clinical nursing problem of your choice. Use this research article to address the following questions:

1. Provide an APA reference of the article including a GCU permalink or working link used to access the article.
2. Using the “CASP Randomized Controlled Trial Checklist,” found in topic Resources, evaluate the study. Based on your findings, summarize the critical appraisal of the selected research article.
3. Do the benefits of the experimental intervention outweigh the harms and costs? Identify and discuss one other ethical consideration applicable to quantitative research studies such as this one.

Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format. Responses to peers or faculty should be 100-150 words and include one reference. Refer to “RN-BSN Discussion Question Rubric” and “RN-BSN Participation Rubric,” located in Class Resources, to understand the expectations for initial discussion question posts and participation posts, respectively.

 Consider the importance of patient and family centered care as it relates to care coordination (think of engaging the patient and family in developing and understanding the plan of care [i.e who will deliver care? When? What is their role?]. Choose one patient from the scenario assigned to your group to discuss various evidence-based patient engagement strategies and select a specific strategy you can utilize to assess and activate patient and family involvement in care. (Be sure to consider cultural competence and sensitivity). Include at least 2 current references.
