NUR 458 Module 7 Vulnerable At-Risk Population Presentation Example

Reviewed by Ingrid Vasterling, MSN, RN Arizona State University Updated October 2026

This NUR 458 Module 7 sample is the Vulnerable At-Risk Population presentation in Community Care and Collaboration, the capstone community presentation in ASU's BSN. Under ASU NUR 458, each group must define, research and assess a vulnerable or high-risk population from its community needs assessment and present solutions, with peers evaluating the presentation. The composite team presents day laborers who seek work at a Phoenix hiring corner. Eleven slides with speaker notes explain who day laborers are and why they are vulnerable, summarize the needs assessment, present the evidence on injuries and delayed care, recognize community strengths and propose an injury response program with partners and evaluation.

Slide 1: Working Through the Pain

Title slide with the team name and population.

Speaker notes: Every morning, dozens of men and a few women wait at a Phoenix parking lot for a day's work. This presentation is about their health.

Slide 2: Who Day Laborers Are

Workers hired by the day for construction, landscaping and moving; paid in cash; often immigrants; many support families.

Speaker notes: The work is legal and essential, but it comes without contracts, insurance or training.

Slide 3: Why They Are Vulnerable

Hazardous work; no workers' compensation in practice; income lost for every day not worked; language barriers; immigration fears.

Speaker notes: Vulnerability comes from the conditions of the work, not from the workers.

Slide 4: Our Needs Assessment

Functional health patterns across eleven areas; a provider interview; four site visits; a windshield survey.

Speaker notes: We used several sources so that no single conversation shaped our conclusions.

Slide 5: What We Found

Untreated injuries, uncontrolled blood pressure and diabetes, unsafe conditions and distrust of institutions.

Speaker notes: Workers ranked injuries as their top concern.

Slide 6: The Evidence on Injuries

Close to one recordable injury a year for every three full-time day laborers in a Seattle study; immigrant workers reported more hazards (Seixas et al., 2008).

Speaker notes: That rate is far higher than for most occupations.

Slide 7: Why Care Is Delayed

Fear of losing work and income keeps injured workers on the job (Walter et al., 2002).

Speaker notes: An injury that could be treated early becomes a disability when it is ignored.

What this page is doingTwo slides of evidence explain both the size of the problem and the reason behind the behavior the team observed, so the proposed program addresses a cause rather than a symptom.

Slide 8: Community Strengths

Strong relationships among regulars; a trusted worker center; churches that already provide meals.

Speaker notes: Our plan uses these strengths instead of building something new, following the strengths noted in our functional health patterns assessment (Gordon, 1994).

Slide 9: The Program

A monthly first-aid class at the worker center; picture-based safety cards in two languages; an appointment held open each day at the nearby health center; peer contacts with first-aid kits.

Speaker notes: Each part is small, but together they shorten the time from injury to care.

Slide 10: Partners and Evaluation

Partners: worker center, community health center, local hardware store. Measures: attendance, referrals, workers' recall of warning signs, clinic feedback.

Speaker notes: We will report results to the worker center so the program can continue after our semester ends.

Slide 11: Questions and Thanks

Acknowledgment of the workers and partners who shared their time.

Speaker notes: Thank you. We especially thank the workers who talked with us.

What the NUR 458 Module 7 instructions ask for

The posted syllabus lists the Vulnerable At-Risk Population presentation as the second of the course's two presentations, which share 40 points. The group defines, researches and assesses an identified vulnerable or high-risk population from a community needs assessment and presents a PowerPoint with proposed solutions, and classmates complete peer evaluations. Time limits and the rubric are in Canvas. Be ready to explain who the population is and why it is vulnerable, summarize how you assessed its needs, present evidence, recognize community strengths and propose specific solutions with partners and evaluation. This presentation brings together the charter, interview, functional health patterns, analysis and prioritization, so it should read as the culmination of the semester's community work.

How this NUR 458 Module 7 example is built

The deck runs eleven slides with speaker notes. Early slides describe the population and explain that its vulnerability comes from working conditions, not from the workers. The next slides summarize the needs assessment methods and findings, then present two pieces of evidence, one on the size of the injury problem and one on why care is delayed. A slide on community strengths leads into a four-part program with partners and measures, and the deck closes with thanks to the workers and partners. The assessment framework and two studies of day labor back the claims on the slides. The deck pulls together the charter, interview, assessment, analysis and prioritization into one story. Thanks to the community close the presentation.

NUR 458 Module 7 rubric: what earns full marks

Graders will look first at how clearly the population and its vulnerability are defined, then at the quality of the needs assessment, use of evidence, recognition of strengths, specific and feasible solutions, partners and evaluation, slide design and group delivery, with peer evaluations as part of the process. Defining vulnerability through conditions rather than personal traits reflects respectful practice. Linking solutions to assessed needs and evidence shows coherence. Naming partners and measures shows feasibility. Even participation, clear speaking and respectful language about the population affect delivery scores. A presentation that sounds like the end of a semester's work, rather than a new topic, tends to score well. Peer evaluators also respond to clear, confident speaking.

NUR 458 Module 7 help from the desk

Some groups describe a population's problems using only published data and none of their own. Bring in your interview, observations and functional health patterns. Another is language that blames the population; describe conditions and barriers. Keep solutions specific and realistic for community partners. If your team would like help building slides from its semester work, send your assessment and prioritization to the desk. Rehearse together and agree on who answers which questions. Thank the community members who helped you. Assign one member to keep time during the presentation. Practice the question session as seriously as the slides.

Yes. The syllabus describes a group presentation, PowerPoint and peer evaluation.

Should community strengths appear in a vulnerable population presentation?

Yes. Naming strengths shows respect and points to partners and resources a program can build on.

How do I connect a presentation to my community assessment?

Summarize your assessment methods and findings, then show how your proposed solutions respond to the needs you prioritized.
