NURS-FPX4902: Assessment 2 – Capstone Project Proposal<\/h4>\n

Assessment Overview<\/strong> This assessment requires you to develop a comprehensive project proposal addressing a real-world patient, family, or population health problem. The proposal must integrate evidence-based practice (EBP), leadership principles, and interprofessional collaboration to propose a feasible solution. Focus on a specific clinical issue from your practicum experience, such as chronic disease management, healthcare disparities, or quality improvement initiatives. The proposal should demonstrate your ability to apply BSN-level competencies in analysis, planning, and ethical decision-making. Word count: 3,000\u20134,000 words (excluding references). Due: End of Week 4 in the course module. Format: APA 7th edition.<\/p>\n

Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Problem Identification<\/strong>: Select and describe a healthcare problem observed in your clinical setting. Provide background data (e.g., prevalence, impact on stakeholders) supported by current literature (2019\u20132025). Explain why this problem warrants a capstone project.<\/li>\n
  2. Literature Review<\/strong>: Synthesize 8\u201310 peer-reviewed sources to analyze the problem’s root causes, existing interventions, and gaps in current practice. Use a matrix or table to compare evidence levels (e.g., RCTs, systematic reviews).<\/li>\n
  3. Proposed Solution<\/strong>: Outline a detailed intervention plan, including objectives, timeline, resources needed, and evaluation metrics. Incorporate EBP models (e.g., Iowa Model, PICO framework) and address potential barriers.<\/li>\n
  4. Implementation and Evaluation<\/strong>: Discuss strategies for stakeholder engagement, ethical considerations (e.g., HIPAA compliance, equity), and methods for measuring outcomes (e.g., pre\/post surveys, cost-benefit analysis).<\/li>\n
  5. Professional Accountability<\/strong>: Reflect on how the project aligns with nursing standards (e.g., ANA Code of Ethics, QSEN competencies) and your role as a baccalaureate-prepared nurse. Submit via the course portal with a title page, abstract (150\u2013250 words), and reference list. Use headings to mirror this rubric for clarity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Scoring Rubric<\/strong> Assessments are graded on a 4-point scale: 0 (Non-Performance), 1 (Basic), 2 (Proficient), 3 (Distinguished). Total points: 100.<\/p>\n
