Week 3 Project   

In a Microsoft Word document of 2-3 pages formatted in APA style, you will describe the final plan for your capstone project using the format below. Please note that the title and reference pages should not be included in the total page count of your paper.

Introduction

The introduction establishes the scope, context, and significance of the project being conducted by summarizing current understanding and background information (literature) about the topic, stating the purpose of the work, explaining briefly the approach used to examine the problem, and identifies one or two outcomes of the project.

Problem Statement

A problem statement is the description of a currently existing issue, which needs to be addressed with evidence-based interventions. The statement of the problem is the focal point of the project. Be sure to back up the noted issue/problem with evidence. Must include citations of evidence.

Questions

Identify one to two questions to address with your capstone project. Based on the constraint of project length of 10 weeks you may not have time to address a multitude of questions.

Methodology

The methodology section of the paper addresses:

when and how you will collect the pre-intervention data,

what the intervention(s) is (are),

when/how the intervention(s) will be implemented,

how and when you will perform your post-intervention data measurement,

how the data will be analyzed.

A friendly reminder that unless your project has gone through the IRB process you will not be allowed to collect data on more than 3 people. For data collection, you will choose 3 people from your aggregate.

Timetable

Develop a timetable considering the following questions:

When will your project start and finish?

Are there particular steps or stages to the project?

What objectives have you set for this investigation? Are they addressed in the timeline?

Is the timetable realistic?

How will you provide regular updates and progress reports and to whom will you provide them? How will you demonstrate progress?

Week 5 Project   

Developing a Care Plan

There are two parts to the comprehensive nursing care plan assignment. In Week 5 you are required to submit a draft of your care plan. In Week 6 you will submit your final nursing care plan based on feedback from your instructor and your continued work.

In a Microsoft Word document of 4-5 pages formatted in APA style, begin to develop a comprehensive care plan for the aggregate based on the health risks faced by the aggregate that you identified in the risk assessment.

In your paper, address the following:

Propose two (2) priority-nursing diagnoses based on the major health risks identified during the risk assessment for the aggregate

Include strategies to address the nursing diagnoses and identified risks of aggregate.

Support your strategies with at least two journal articles.

Develop a disaster management plan with the following components:

List of disasters that might affect your aggregate (take into consideration the geographical location of the aggregate, past history, etc.).

Strategies for handling at least two disasters from the list.

Recommendations for a disaster supplies kit.

Week 8 Project   

Implementation of the Care Plan

In a Microsoft Word document of 2-3 pages formatted in APA style, you will develop a plan to implement your care plan by answering the questions below.

The first step to effective implementation is planning. As you go about this task, utilize the following questions applying them to your aggregate:

What group have you selected (for example, three families with young children, and so on)?

What made you select this particular group?

What intervention(s) of the plan will you implement in the group?

What health risk do you expect to address by implementing this intervention?

What results do you expect?

How do you plan to implement this intervention?

Do you have any specific strategy in mind?

What resources will you need?

How long do you think it will take for the results to be seen?

What resources do you need?

The second step is to mobilize the resources you need, talk to the small group, recruit volunteers, etc.

Finally, when your resources are in place, put your plan into action.

Week 10 Project   

Evaluation of Plan Effectiveness Criteria

Over the past nine weeks, you selected an aggregate and conducted a risk assessment of its health, developed a care plan to address those health risks, planned to implement one intervention in a small group from the aggregate, and considered the effectiveness of the intervention on the health of the small group. It is time now for you to present your final submission of this Capstone project.

There are two parts to this assignment.

Part 1: A 10-15 slide power point presentation addressing the following:

A detailed description of the aggregate including strengths and weaknesses

A risk assessment of the aggregate

Diagnoses based on the risk assessment

A detailed care plan for the aggregate

A description of at least one intervention that was implemented (or the implementation itself if presented as a power point)

Part 2: In a Microsoft Word document of 3-4 pages formatted in APA style, you will describe the evaluation process of the intervention(s) you implemented.

Include the following in your paper:

An evaluation of the effectiveness of the intervention:

Did I implement the intervention as planned? If not, what were the reasons?

Interview/measure outcomes for two or three members of your group to determine/measure the effectiveness of the intervention(s).

Include transcripts of the interviews with the participants from the group in the appendix of your paper.

Finally, compare the projected effectiveness of your plan before implementation with the actual effectiveness after implementation.

Are there visible signs of success (for example, reduced health issues)? If yes, describe. If no, describe what signs you would anticipate and rationale for no change.

You may want to use the responses to the above two criteria to measure the actual effectiveness of the intervention.
