Finally, you will describe the expected outcomes for medication management, including expectations for follow up care. Citations should be provided at the bottom of slides, and a full reference list should be included in APA format on the final slide. You will create five (5) multiple choice or true-false questions created from your presentation content. Provide the answers to the questions you have created. The PowerPoint presentation and questions are due by Sunday 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 6.
In Week 7, you will post the PowerPoint presentation you have created to the discussion area, but first remove the answers to the questions you have created.

You should also answer the presenter’s five questions.
Three responses to a peer’s presentations are due by Thursday 11:59 p.m. MT of Week 7 so that the presenting student can interact with you.
