    Introduction
    In your first three assessments, you applied new knowledge and insight gleaned from the literature, from organizational data, and from direct consultation with the patient, family, or group (and perhaps with subject matter and industry experts) to your assessment of the problem. You’ve examined the problem from the perspectives of leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, policy, quality of care, patient safety, costs to the system and individual, technology, care coordination, and community resources. Now it’s time to turn your attention to proposing an intervention (your capstone project), as a solution to the problem.
    Preparation
    In this assessment, you’ll develop an intervention as a solution to the health problem you’ve defined. To prepare for the assessment, think about an appropriate intervention, based on your work in the preceding assessments, that will produce tangible, measurable results for the patient, family, or group. In addition, you might consider using a root cause analysis to explore the underlying reasons for a problem and as the basis for developing and implementing an action plan to address the problem. Some appropriate interventions include the following:
    Creating an educational brochure.
    Producing an educational voice-over PowerPoint presentation or video focusing on your topic.
    Creating a teaching plan for your patient, family, or group.
    Recommending work process or workflow changes addressing your topic.
    Plan to spend at least 3 direct practicum hours working with the same patient, family, or group.
    In addition, you may wish to complete the following:
    Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work you will be asked to complete and how it will be assessed.
    Conduct sufficient research of the scholarly and professional literature to inform your work and meet scholarly expectations for supporting evidence.omplete this assessment in two parts: (a) develop an intervention as a solution to the problem and (b) submit your proposed intervention, with a written analysis, to your faculty for review and approval.

    Individual Assignment: Application of Theory Paper and Reflection C3. b,c &d
    Assignment Purpose
    Nursing theories play a vital role in the evolution of nursing as a discipline. They establish the critical contributions made by the profession and provide nurses with frameworks to guide their practice, grow professionally, and improve the care they deliver to patients. This assignment focuses on the importance of nursing theory within the profession. Selecting one nursing theorist and the middle-range theory they developed (non-nursing ideas are not allowed), the student will present a summary of the set nursing theory, identify opportunities for the application of the theory to a nursing situation (In this course, you have analyzed a middle range theory, you may the theory used in previous discussions). The student will include two scholarly peer-reviewed sources to support the nursing theory chosen.
    Requirements
    The two central aims of this assignment are to apply a middle-range nursing theory to clinical practice and to reflect on the experience. Consider the problem described in discussion nine. Write a paper (1,000 to 1,500 words, Approximately three pages) that explains how middle-range theory can be applied to the identified problem. The paper should include the following:
    A summary of the problem (nursing situation). Describe a nursing situation you have encountered in your clinical placement. The situation can be a specific physiological patient problem or a case involving a vulnerable patient’s family or a staff member. It can also describe your role in problem-solving or an ethical issue you encountered in practice. The key is you need to have been directly involved in the event. You must also maintain the confidentiality of your subjects at all times. Do not identify the patient, staff, or hospital site.
    A descriiption of a middle-range theory that could be applied to the problem. Is this middle-range theory appropriate to your identified situation? For example, health promotion, especially preventive care, is essential for ethnic minority groups and
    the economically disadvantaged. The Health Promotion Model (HPM) (Pender, 1996; Pender et al., 2010) is a framework for delivering nursing care to support health promotion behaviors. An essential component of a nursing assessment is understanding personal factors (e.g., lack of finances to afford health insurance) and an individual’s perception of the benefits and barriers of engaging in health promotion behaviors. Screening recommendations and health promotion practices can be tailored to the patient’s and family’s cultural values and beliefs, finances, and community support when working with vulnerable populations.
    A brief discussion of the middle-range theory’s origins includes a short biography of the theorist and the main concepts of the middle-range theory ( See discussion nine).
    Discuss how the middle-range theory has been previously applied ( See discussion nine ).
    A discussion of the application of the middle-range theory to the identified problem. How would your practice change by incorporating this theory?
    The paper should be 2-3 pages, excluding the title and reference pages.
    The paper should start with an introductory paragraph that includes the purpose statement.
    Use headings and subheadings to organize the paper.
    Reflection
    Using the diagram below, reflect on the following questions:
    Think about a nursing situation (necessary experience).
    Consider the selected theory or parts theory while it is implemented in your nursing care.
    As you apply theory, identify your emotions.
    Have you experienced this nursing situation before applying the theory
    What did I learn from completing this experience?
    How have I been changed by what I’ve learned?

    Realtors rely on detailed property appraisals—conducted using appraisal tools—to

    Realtors rely on detailed property appraisals—conducted using appraisal tools—to assign market values to houses and other properties. These values are then presented to buyers and sellers to set prices and initiate offers.
    Research appraisal is not that different. The critical appraisal process utilizes formal appraisal tools to assess the results of research to determine value to the context at hand. Evidence-based practitioners often present these findings to make the case for specific courses of action.
    In this Assignment, you will use an appraisal tool to conduct a critical appraisal of published research. You will then present the results of your efforts.
    To Prepare:
    Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected in Module 2 and the four systematic reviews (or other filtered high- level evidence) you selected in Module 3.
    Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected in Module 2 and analyzed in Module 3.
    Review and download the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template provided in the Resources.
    The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)
    Part 3A: Critical Appraisal of Research
    Conduct a critical appraisal of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected by completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template. Choose a total of four peer- reviewed articles that you selected related to your clinical topic of interest in Module 2 and Module 3.
    Note: You can choose any combination of articles from Modules 2 and 3 for your Critical Appraisal. For example, you may choose two unfiltered research articles from Module 2 and two filtered research articles (systematic reviews) from Module 3 or one article from Module 2 and three articles from Module 3. You can choose any combination of articles from the prior Module Assignments as long as both modules and types of studies are represented.
    Part 3B: Critical Appraisal of Research
    Based on your appraisal, in a 1-2-page critical appraisal, suggest a best practice that emerges from the research you reviewed. Briefly explain the best practice, justifying your proposal with APA citations of the research.
