In this assignment, students will pull together the capstone project change proposal components they have been working on throughout the course to create a proposal inclusive of sections for each content focus area in the course. For this project, the student will apply evidence-based research steps and processes required as the foundation to address a clinically oriented problem or issue in future practice.

Develop a 1,250-1,500 written project that includes the following information as it applies to the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need profiled in the capstone change proposal:

1. Background
2. Clinical problem statement.
3. Purpose of the change proposal in relation to providing patient care in the changing health care system.
4. PICOT question.
5. Literature search strategy employed.
6. Evaluation of the literature.
7. Applicable change or nursing theory utilized.
8. Proposed implementation plan with outcome measures.
9. Discussion of how evidence-based practice was used in creating the intervention plan.
10. Plan for evaluating the proposed nursing intervention.
11. Identification of potential barriers to plan implementation, and a discussion of how these could be overcome.
12. Appendix section, if tables, graphs, surveys, educational materials, etc. are created.

In nursing practice, accurate identification and application of research is essential to achieving successful outcomes. The ability to articulate research data and summarize relevant content supports the student’s ability to further develop and synthesize the assignments that constitute the components of the capstone project.

The assignment will be used to develop a written implementation plan.

For this assignment, provide a synopsis of the review of the research literature. Using the “Literature Evaluation Table,” determine the level and strength of the evidence for each of the eight research articles you have selected. The articles should be current (within the last 5 years) and closely relate to the PICOT question developed earlier in this course. The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive analyses, longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles. A systematic review may be used to provide background information for the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project.

PLEASE USE THE UPLOADED LITERATURE REVIEW TEMPLATE ALONG WITH THE 6 ARTICLES AND WITH THE HELP OF THE PICOT QUESTION TO FILL IN THE LITERATURE REVIEW. THERE NEEDS TO BE 8 ARTICLES, SO IF YOU CAN FIND 2 MORE ARTICLES THAT WOULD BE APPRECIATED. 

PLEASE FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS 

 

1. Imagine you are the president of a Fortune 500 Company. You started out as a secretary right out of high school and worked your way to the top. The vice president and CEO are always at odds. As an expressive leader, how do you resolve this social dilemma and restore order in the leadership positions between these two officers?

2. Name the three types of formal organizations and explain how each is different. Also, explain a time when you were involved in one of these types of organizations and the positives/negatives it had within it.

3. You decided to run for public office. Although you have little-to-no experience with elections, holding office, or campaigning, you feel you can be successful since you helped a friend who served in a public office seat last term. Explain how this is a characteristic of Weber’s Ideal Bureaucracy and what you will do to prove your competence under these characteristics.

4. As creative manager of a small group of employees in the advertising department, you notice one of your designers has withdrawn from the meetings offering no input. This employee’s alienation concerns you. What would you do to socialize this employee and engage them into their job?
