This guide is for NURS 505 Week 2 Genomics and Genetics Presentation, start to submission. A 15 to 20-slide PowerPoint applying the graduate genetic and genomic nursing competencies to a risk factor or condition, with 5 recent peer-reviewed articles.
NURS 505 is Advanced Health / Physical Assessment, 3 credit hours, in Liberty University's MSN. Canvas and the course guide file print the code as NURS505; it is the same course.

What NURS 505 Week 2 Genomics and Genetics Presentation asks for
You create a 15 to 20-slide PowerPoint (counting the title and reference slides) in current APA. Using the Essential Genetic and Genomic Competencies for Nurses with Graduate Degrees document linked in the course, you show how the competencies apply to a genomic or genetic risk factor or condition. At least five peer-reviewed journal articles from the past five years are required. It is due in Module/Week 2 and worth 125 points.
Where it fits in NURS 505
In the published schedule, Genomics and Genetics Presentation is one of 6 graded written assignments in NURS 505. It follows Week 1 Comprehensive Health History and Genogram and comes before Week 3 SOAP Note.
How NURS 505 Week 2 Genomics and Genetics Presentation is graded
Liberty grades Genomics and Genetics Presentation with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 125 points in the published guide. That is about 12% of the course's 1,010 points. Open the rubric before you draft and read across each row: the top column describes what full credit looks like, and the gap between columns tells you what costs points.
Course grades in NURS 505 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 940 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.
Timing in the published guide: Each course module/week begins on Monday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Sunday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final module/week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
The NURS 505 Week 2 method, step by step
Plan the talk before the slides
Write the message of the Genomics and Genetics Presentation in two sentences, then outline the points that support it. Slides built before the message tend to become a stack of facts.
One idea per slide
Give each slide a headline that states its point and keep the text short. The detail belongs in what you say or in the speaker notes.
Put the evidence where it is used
Meet the source requirement (At least 5 peer-reviewed journal articles from the past 5 years) with citations on the slides themselves, plus a final references slide in current APA.
Write speaker notes or a script
Write notes for each slide in full sentences. They keep the recording on time and give the grader the reasoning the slides only point to.
Rehearse to the time limit
Do one timed run before the final recording and trim to fit the limit.
Check the technical requirements
Before submitting, check the slide count and timing (15 to 20 slides, including the title and reference slides), that audio plays, and that the link or file opens for someone else.
A structure for NURS 505 Week 2 Genomics and Genetics Presentation
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,200 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Title and purpose | Topic, audience and the message of the talk. | ~120 words |
| Main points | The slides that carry the argument, one point each. | ~660 words |
| Evidence | Data and sources on the slides where used. | ~180 words |
| Close | What the audience should take away or do. | ~120 words |
| References | Sources in current APA on a final slide. | ~120 words |
A topic angle that works
Pick a condition where genetics changes nursing action, such as hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (BRCA1/2), Lynch syndrome, familial hypercholesterolemia or a pharmacogenomic variant like CYP2C19. Then organize slides by competency: risk assessment, family history, referral for counseling, ethical issues and patient education.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
Slide 8, the competency of risk assessment. Familial hypercholesterolemia affects about one in 250 people, and most do not know they have it.1 A three-generation family history showing early heart disease, together with an LDL above 190 mg/dL, should prompt the nurse to discuss genetic testing and cascade screening of relatives.2 This is the competency in action: recognizing a pattern in the family history and turning it into a referral.3
- Gives the condition's prevalence and why it is missed.
- Names the specific findings that trigger action.
- Links the clinical example back to the competency being shown.
Mistakes that cost points on NURS 505 Week 2
- Slide count outside 15 to 20.
- Articles older than five years.
- A slide deck about the condition that never mentions the competencies.
