Disease Process, definition, pathophysiology

  In your poster, you MUST include the following information: Title and author Disease Process, definition, pathophysiology (Signs & Symptoms) Nursing Interventions Lab and Diagnostic Tests Patient Education References (APA FORMAT) Know your audience and shape your poster to address it. Your audience are your classmates. If you can say the same things in words or with a diagram, use a diagram. Do not use abbreviations, acronyms, or jargon. Make all illustrations simple and bold. Leave out any unnecessary detail in the story being presented. When in doubt, edit out - crowded, cluttered posters are difficult to read. Charts, drawings, and illustrations might be like those you would use in making slides -- simple and bold. Readability is the key. Use elements of different sizes and proportions. Same-size and same-proportioned components result in a boring design. For areas of particular emphasis try different shapes or colors. Leave open space in the design. Proofread your poster content very carefully. Enlarge all photos enough for pertinent details to be clear. Make a scale drawing of your layout. Have a few colleagues comment on the overall design before final drafting. Questions to consider when viewing the final draft: Is the message clear? Do the important points stand out? Is there a balance between words and illustrations? Is there spatial balance? Is the pathway through the poster clear? Is the poster understandable without oral explanation?
