Audience Analysis

The instructor is critical in understanding that I conduct extensive research on the topic. Therefore, essential items should not be missed in the presentation as proof of extensive research. The details about the point son the safety of the patients while in the hands of the nurses should be conspicuous. This includes supporting the points with peer research articles. The use of graphics and data on the topic of discussion is a crucial enhancer to cementing the presentation. The presentation should also have points touching on three key aspects, pathos, ethos, and logos. This is because eliciting emotions in the audience brings relevance to the issue. This means the presentation must not lack the arguments for, arguments against, and the position statement. By bringing out these aspects, the instructor will be impressed that the desired amount of research was dedicated to the discussion topic.

One of the critical ingredients to impressing my peers is recognizing them and their contributions and arguments on the topic. I believe that my contributions to the case resemble their contributions. Thus, I will explain how my presentation improves or adds more value to what a few have mentioned by specifying the individuals with their names. The use of statistics and research findings from published articles with relevant graphics makes them believe. Touching on their emotions is also vital. I will use ethos; here, I will include a recent development in patient care and safety that is beneficial to them as individuals. I will get relevant statistics and graphical presentations for logos to bring the imagery to their minds. For pathos, I will cite information pertinent to the topic from reputable scholars that prove my points are from peer-reviewed sources.

There is a literature review on the safety of patient incidents and the nursing workload. In this article, the authors established factors that affected patient safety concerning the nurses’ workload. This is important since, in many organizations, there is a high likelihood that patient safety incidences are likely to occur even though nurses are onsite. In the article, the authors concluded that rates of falls were associated with the workload. This is an essential indicator in improving patient safety. The report is critical as it will strengthen my recommendations on improving patient safety through proper nursing practices in healthcare facilities.

The source explains the role nurses play in caring for their patients. The author states that the nurses ensure that the patient's safety is always guaranteed. The article compares the length the physicians or the, pharmacists, and parents or family members take to interact with their patients to that of the nurses. All the responsibilities of ensuring the patient stay safe during the day are left to the nurses. Therefore, this article strongly indicates that nurses have a critical role in accomplishing the duties stipulated in the research topic. This is a very excellent article to use to prove my points strongly.

This article is a literature review on how organizations can significantly impact patient safety through nursing empowerment, leadership, and collaboration. This is very important because patient care and safety is a multisectoral undertaking. This means that there is a need to have good cooperation, the empowerment of the nursing team, and impeccable leadership qualities in place. Despite the article not finding tangible evidence and proposing that further research be conducted, I find it valid to advance the items the literature review highlighted in improving patient safety through nursing in many organizations.

Organizational Patient Safety Argument Presentation Assignment

Part 1 - Freewriting Prompt

In the current assignment, I will focus on exploring patient safety as my topic. Patent safety from an organizational perspective has become a significant consideration for nurses who understand that they must care for the patients. Again, data indicate that patient safety is one of the main issues contributing to positive patient outcomes and high quality of care. I believe that holding a high level of patient safety is my duty and obligation conferred to me as a professional nurse (Trinkoff et al., 2008). It is essential to convince the audience that I am saying is true. I will borrow facts and statistics from recently researched documents to clarify the arguments to achieve this goal. I believe that my audience understands the dynamics in the healthcare industry. In this way, I will have to cite recently published data to support my arguments.

It hasn't proven easy in the past to use pathos to persuade the audience. However, since this assignment allows the use of audio-visual, it will be easy to use emotional appeals to persuade the audience. Visuals such as gestures, facial expressions, hand movements, body movements, and tone alteration will help me convey the message to the audience from an emotional perspective. I think there is nothing more imperative than establishing credibility with the audience. There are many techniques that I will use to earn the audience's credibility. Firstly, I will use professional language to address the audience. I will reduce the professional organ to ensure that everyone understands my message. Again, I will cite past research to support my arguments. Although using professional language is imperative in this perspective, it is also essential to use simple language to convey the message effectively.

Part 2 – Planning Prompt

I believe that a successful speech begins with an important message that catches the audience's attention. In this way, I will use statistics or famous quotes to hook my audience. For instance, I can start by saying that do you know that 3 out of 10 patients discharged from hospitals are readmitted because of poor patient safety. Or do you know that patient safety is a core value of the nursing profession? I am qualified to speak on the topic because I am a nurse practitioner and have gained enough experience in the past many years. Similarly, I have done much research on the subject, and I have vast knowledge to impart to the audience. My professional background, academic and training, areas of my expertise, and interests are some of the experiences that will help my audience understand me better.

In the argument, I will focus on the significance of patient safety and the impacts of poor patient safety on the patients, practitioners, and the organization. Again, I will explain how patient safety can be achieved from an organizational perspective. It is better to shrink the argument to a few issues to address them better. To effectively convey the message, I will begin with the definition of patient safety to the impacts of patent safety. Again, as much as patient safety is a significant consideration, some may say that it is a waste of time because nurses spend much time on a single patient and ignore the plight of others (Phillips et al., 2021). Irrespective of the opposing arguments, patient safety is significant because it improves treatment outcomes and contributes to the high quality of care. I will end the speech by calling the audience to action. I will advocate for improved patient safety in organizations to enhance the quality of care offered to the patients.
