In a 5-7 page written assessment, define the patient, family, or population health problem that will be the focus of your capstone project.

Assess the problem from a leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, and policy perspective.

Plan to spend approximately 2 direct practicum hours meeting with a patient, family, or group of your choice to explore the problem and, if desired, consulting with subject matter and industry experts.

 

Explain what pathophysiological changes have occurred for the two cases to experience the chosen problem. Identify and discuss the similarities and differences between the presenting assessment data related to the chosen problem for each case.

/in /by

Priority problem

This assessment requires you to choose one (1) priority problem.

Then use the two (2) case studies to apply your knowledge of evidence-based nursing practice and the clinical reasoning cycle to demonstrate your understanding of how to plan and evaluate person centered care for each person.

Step One

Select one (1) priority problem from this list:

  1. Potential for impaired safety: increased falls risk
  2. Potential for impaired skin integrity
  3. Impaired hydration

Step Two

Thoroughly read and compare the two (2) case studies (see the end of the task description).

Step Three

Use the following headings (tasks i-iv) and address points in relation to your chosen problem and the two (2) case studies. Support your responses using peer reviewed, current and relevant literature

  1. Interpretation of Assessment Data

Explain what pathophysiological changes have occurred for the two cases to experience the chosen problem.

Identify and discuss the similarities and differences between the presenting assessment data related to the chosen problem for each case. In you discussion you must demonstrate your understanding of age and developmental based differences between the cases and the presentation of assessment data relevant to the chosen problem.

  1. Development of Goal for Care using SMART Framework

From the position of your chosen problem, use the SMART framework to write a goal for care for each case (i.e. there will be two goals). The goal for care should consider the uniqueness of each case.

The SMART framework headings MUST be used to present your goal. Supporting evidence is NOT required for task (ii).

iii. Evidence-Based and Person-Centred Interventions to

Address the Goal for Care:

Choose two (2) evidence-based interventions (at least one must be nurse initiated) to address the goal of care.

Justify your choice of intervention and discuss how the two (2) interventions need to be modified to meet the unique needs of the cases based on their age and developmental differences.

Note: The same two interventions will be recommended for both cases, but you need to discuss how these would be modified to suit the needs of the individual.

  1. Evaluation of the Efficacy of Interventions:

Discuss how a nurse would evaluate the efficacy of the two interventions and the similarities and differences in the approach to evaluating the cases based on their age and developmental differences.

For each case identify the expected positive changes in assessment data indicating the intervention was effective.

Subjects – how many and how were they identified?

  • What were the research methods used in the study? Methodology
  • What did the findings show?

Interpret the finding. (i.e. p value and sign levels.) What does this mean?

Infographics are visual representations of information. They can include numbers, text, images, or any combination of the three. Just as in traditional writing assignments, infographics can take on any of the various rhetorical modes — informative, instructive, descriptive, persuasive, etc. Infographics provide a quick way to convey a lot of information. For example, this infographic from the American Association of Nurse Practitioners conveys data related to NPs much more concisely than another paragraph inserted here could have (https://www.aanp.org/all-about-nps/what-is-an-np-2):

Students will create an Infographic on the topic of Advanced Practice Nursing. You will create an infographic that is easily understood by the lay public or general population. The infographic should provide information useful to communicating the “What, Why, When and How” of APN.

  1. Student will select a platform (tool) for building their infographics. There are plenty of great infographic platforms out there. Most are free, but may require that you do set up an account. Check out Infogr.am, Easelly, Piktochart, and Visme (links in online course module).
  2. Create the Infographic using one of the above platforms.
  3. Post completed infographic in PDF format

Choose one skin condition graphic (identify by number in your Chief Complaint) to document your assignment in the SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan) note format rather than the traditional narrative style. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Comprehensive SOAP Template in this week’s Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that not all comprehensive SOAP data are included in every patient case.

Use clinical terminologies to explain the physical characteristics featured in the graphic. Formulate a differential diagnosis of three to five possible conditions for the skin graphic that you chose.
