A group of nurses are creating a slide presentation for a group of clients about heart failure. The nurses ask the nursing informatics specialist for assistance in developing the presentation using the free version of the software, Prezi. After describing this type of presentation, the specialist determines that the nurses have a firm grasp of this style when they state:

A) "We need to limit the information on the slides to just graphics."
B) "The presentation will be able to be shared privately with others."
C) "The navigation through the presentation is not linear."
D) "We should plan to spend 15 seconds on each slide."

Final answer:

The nurses demonstrate an understanding of Prezi's presentation style when they correctly state that presentation navigation is not linear. However, an effective presentation also requires a balance of text and graphics, a clear structure with an introduction, supporting points, and conclusion, consistent visual style, and accessibility considerations for all audience members.

Step-by-step explanation:

This statement accurately reflects the dynamic nature of presentations created in Prezi, which allows for a non-linear exploration of content, as opposed to the more sequential slide-by-slide approach traditionally found in PowerPoint slides or other linear presentation formats. To create an effective presentation, it is important to provide a balanced composition of text and graphics, ensure the capability of private sharing, consider the appropriate amount of time for each point, and design a presentation that is accessible and engaging for the audience.

An effective presentation typically starts with an introduction, has three to five major supporting points, and concludes with a conclusion. A consistent visual style, including font choices, colors, and backgrounds, is also advised. When using visuals, it is important to select those that support the data and the points being made. To ensure that the presentation is accessible, accommodations for those who may have visual or auditory limitations should be considered.

Therefore, while using Prezi, nurses need to think beyond just using graphics (as suggested in option A) and focus on the content's structure, accessibility, and how the information they present can be understood easily by their audience, irrespective of the software's features.
