PROFESSIONAL CONTEXT
Nurses are leaders in problem identification and solution, planning and implementing patient care strategies to address problems in the home, hospital, and community. This assessment will help you develop a problem statement for a patient, family, or population health concern.
INSTRUCTIONS
Throughout this capstone course, you will be investigating a patient, family, or population health problem relevant to your practice. For this assessment, you will identify the problem that you will address throughout your clinical practicum in this course, as well as begin to establish your evidence and research base to plan, implement, and share findings related to your project. The Problem Identification Template [DOC] will guide you through development of a problem statement, evidence collection and analysis, and best practices to help you create your implementation plan for the second assessment in this course.Your submission for this assessment will be the completed template. When working through the template, you may use the resources provided in this course; however, most of your research and search for evidence will be conducted by you. Use the Capella University Library, professional organization and government resources, and relevant organizational best practices as sources of evidence. This is the capstone course for your BSN degree; your goal is to demonstrate your achievement of the program outcomes through your work on this project.The following are some health issues that would be appropriate for your project:
Diabetes self-management.
Hypertension management and prevention.
Medication reconciliation within a family or group.
Parkinson’s disease support group.
Patient family education communication improvements.
Postoperative home care.
This list is by no means exhaustive. You should choose a patient, family, or population health issue that is relevant to your practice and organization; you must be able to study the problem in your clinical practicum effectively.
SCORING GUIDE CRITERIA
Your submission will be assessed based on the following criteria:
Define a patient, family, or population health problem that is relevant to personal practice.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Length of submission: Use the provided template. Most submissions will be 2 to 4 pages. You do not need to include a title page. Be sure to complete the reference page at the end of the template.
Number of references: Cite a minimum of 5 sources of scholarly or professional evidence that support your central ideas. Resources should be no more than five years old.
APA formatting: Make sure that in-text citations and reference list follow current APA style.
Portfolio Prompt: Remember to save the assessment to your ePortfolio. After you complete your program you may want to consider leveraging your Portfolio as part of a job search or other demonstration of your academic competencies.
SCORING GUIDE
Use the scoring guide to understand how your assessment will be evaluated. Hello everyone,
Keep up the great work you are doing in class! These are some tips for class to help you get
through this course successfully.
First, keep in mind that this is not just a class where you are writing papers. This is your
capstone project and the detail that is needed should be included. Second, assessments have to
be submitted in order and they build on each other. So, the next assessment should be
submitted after you read the feedback on the previous one. It is important to read all directions
very thoroughly in this course.
Assessment #1- Students often do not address the state board of nursing area adequately on
this section. Tip-this is about your state board of nursing specifically.
Assessment #2- This is a plan proposal. You are building on what you wrote in assessment #1
and telling me your plan. Tip- Don’t forget the detail! This is your project, not just another
paper!
Assessment #3- This is the discussion of the educational activity you will be conducting in a
paper format. Tip- submission of your paper, your brochure or flyer, and your CORE Elms
entered hours are a necessity.
Assessment #4- This is a Kaltura video and a reference list. Tip-Please submit both. Students
sometimes forget one or the other.
Assessment #5- This is your Pathbrite eportfolio. Please read the directions very, very carefully.
Tip- read the directions and click on the 3 links in the middle of the instructions page. This will
help you create your eportfolio. Next, make it public so I can actually see it. Finally, upload all
the competencies and your resume. Please don’t forget to tell me what your 2 artifacts will be
according to the scoring guide.
As always, please follow the scoring guide as well. I hope this helps everyone!
thanks
