This guide is for NURS 715 Week 3 Theory Presentation Part II, start to submission. Expand the presentation to no more than 12 slides in total, adding the evaluation of the theory and at least 2 more peer-reviewed sources.
NURS 715 is Theoretical Application for Advanced Practice Nursing, 3 credit hours, in Liberty University's DNP. Canvas and the course guide file print the code as NURS715; it is the same course.

What NURS 715 Week 3 Theory Presentation Part II asks for
Part II completes the theory presentation. The total presentation is limited to 12 slides and must contain an additional 2 peer-reviewed scholarly resources beyond the 5 in Part I. It is due in Module/Week 3 with Smith and Liehr chapters 1 to 3, which cover evaluating middle range theory, and Chism chapters 3 and 4. Worth 100 points.
Where it fits in NURS 715
In the published schedule, Theory Presentation Part II is one of 8 graded written assignments in NURS 715. It follows Week 2 Theory Presentation Part I and comes before Week 4 Personal Philosophy of Nursing Paper.
How NURS 715 Week 3 Theory Presentation Part II is graded
Liberty grades Theory Presentation Part II with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 100 points in the published guide. That is about 10% 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 715 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 940 to 1000 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 715 Week 3 method, step by step
Plan the talk before the slides
Decide what the audience should know or do at the end, and outline the talk around that. The slides come last.
One idea per slide
Each slide carries one point, stated in its title. Short lines, readable type, no paragraphs on the slide.
Put the evidence where it is used
Cite sources on the slides where you use them and list them on a references slide (At least 2 additional peer-reviewed scholarly resources, 7 or more across both parts).
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
Record a practice run and time it. Cut slides rather than speeding up; a rushed recording hides the points you worked on.
Check the technical requirements
Confirm the format the guide asks for (No more than 12 slides in total): slide count, length, audio and visual, and the file or link type Canvas accepts.
A structure for NURS 715 Week 3 Theory Presentation Part II
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,000 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Revised Part I slides | The theory, concepts and model, tightened from instructor feedback. | ~360 words |
| Evaluation of the theory | Its substance, structure and usefulness, using the Smith and Liehr evaluation framework. | ~320 words |
| Application to DNP practice | A practice problem the theory could guide. | ~200 words |
| References | All 7 or more sources in APA. | ~120 words |
A topic angle that works
Smith and Liehr evaluate middle range theory by its substantive foundation, structural integrity and functional adequacy, and the Week 7 paper uses the same three tests. Use them as your Part II headings so the work carries straight into the paper.
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.
On substantive foundation, uncertainty in illness theory is strong: its concepts come from Mishel's own studies of hospitalized patients and have been tested for over three decades.1 Its structural integrity is good, because the model shows each concept and the direction of every relationship, although the later reconceptualization for chronic illness adds a second pathway that the original diagram lacks.2 Its functional adequacy is clearest in oncology, where validated uncertainty scales let nurses measure the effect of an intervention.3
- Uses the course's three evaluation criteria.
- Gives a judgment on each, not a description.
- Points to measurement, which matters for a DNP project.
Mistakes that cost points on NURS 715 Week 3
- Going over 12 slides in total.
- Adding fewer than 2 new sources.
- Describing the theory again instead of evaluating it.
