Please choose an example from your nursing practice that you wish to explore. For example, your capstone project could
center on preventing patient falls in a long-term patient milieu. The Capstone Project will reflect concepts from each
module, and each module will help you build your Capstone Project. If your capstone project topic was the example above,
then your capstone project would do the following:
o Reflect the role of the leadership in a successful fall prevention program.
o Display critical thinking/clinical reasoning within your topic research and throughout the course.
o Utilize evidence-based literature to support the fall prevention program.
o Indicate appropriate quality metrics to measure the success of the fall program.
o Identify how to overcome cultural and linguistic barriers.
o Address the importance of inter-professional collaboration to prevent patient falls.
o Identify how best to leverage informatics or technology to prevent patient falls.
The following steps will help you construct your Capstone Analytical Essay:
o Start writing your essay. Use the guide provided below:
Write the first paragraph; begin with a broad statement relevant to your topic. With each sentence, get more and
more specific until the last line, where you state your capstone topic.
Write only the topic sentences (main idea) for each paragraph. Submit at least the first 5 paragraphs.
Review your submissions with your peer and provide scholarly, constructive feedback.
