Narration Tips

Keep narration between 45–60 seconds per slide.
Maintain a professional tone and visible eye contact (camera ON).
Start each slide narration with a transition phrase (e.g., “On this slide, I’ll explain…”).
End with a concise takeaway (e.g., “This data reinforces the effectiveness of education-based interventions in ulcer prevention.”).

Footnote Formatting Tips

In PowerPoint:

Use small font (e.g., size 10) at the bottom of each slide.
Example format:
Footnote: Data derived from Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt (2019), “Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing.”
