NR565 Week 4 CDC Opioid Modules Latest 2021 July

CDC Opioid Modules

Alternative Assignment

For each topic/module required for this assignment, you may choose to create a power point presentation for each topic/module by using the CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain-United States, 2016 (Links to an external site.) as a reference.

Additionally, if you are unsuccessful in completing a certificate, you may also create a power point (PPT) on that topic to recover those 25 points.

Timeline for Submission & Late Penalties:

PPTs can only be submitted to recover any given module until Wednesday 11:59 PM CST of the week following assignment due date. There will be a 10% penalty per day (every day after original Sunday due date) according to the late policy. After this time, no alternative assignments will be accepted unless there is a previous agreement and arrangement made with faculty prior to original assignment due date.

Power point guidelines to meet:

o             Each topic/module should be clearly defined in your power point submission as to which CDC Module you are covering (Title Slide). You can do this in 5 different power points or by using a new title slide for each module topic. (2 points for each CDC Module Topic Title Slide)

o             There should be a minimum of 4 slides per module topic NOT including a title or reference slide addressing the key points for each module noted below. (5 points per slide/key point- total of 20 points per CDC Module/PPT)

o             Slides or slide notes should have enough information to express your understanding of the topic being presented.

o             A reference slide citing the use of the CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain-United States, 2016 is required as well as corresponding in-text citations where appropriate. (3 points for each CDC Module Topic Reference slide)
