NURFXP4900 Assessment 1,2,3,4,and 5

Assessment 5: Intervention Presentation and Capstone Video Reflection

Present your approved intervention to the patient, family, or group and record a 10–15 minute video reflection on your practicum experience, the development of your capstone project, and your personal and professional growth over the course of your RN-to-BSN program. Document the time spent (your practicum hours) with these individuals or group in the Capella Academic Portal Volunteer Experience Form.

Introduction

Baccalaureate-prepared nurses have many opportunities to reflect on their contributions to patient care outcomes during clinical experiences. Research suggests that creating and sharing video reflections may enhance learning (Speed, Lucarelli, & Macaulay, 2018).

For this assessment, you'll present your approved intervention to the patient, family, or group and reflect on various aspects of your capstone practicum experience. Such reflection will give you a chance to discuss elements of the project of which you are most proud and aspects of the experience that will help you grow in your personal practice and nursing career.

Instructions

Complete this assessment in two parts: (a) present your approved intervention to the patient, family, or group and (b) record a video reflection on your practicum experience, the development of your capstone project, and your personal and professional growth over the course of your RN-to-BSN program.

Part 1

Present your approved intervention to the patient, family, or group. Plan to spend at least 3 practicum hours exploring these aspects of the problem with the patient, family, or group. During this time, you may also consult with subject matter and industry experts of your choice. Be sure you've logged all of your practicum hours in Capella Academic Portal.

The BSN Capstone Course (NURS-FPX4900 ) requires the completion and documentation of nine (9) practicum hours. All hours must be recorded in the Capella Academic Portal. Please review the BSN Practicum Campus page for more information and instructions on how to log your hours.

Use the Intervention Feedback Form: Assessment 5 [PDF] Download Intervention Feedback Form: Assessment 5 [PDF]as a guide to capturing patient, family, or group feedback about your intervention. You'll include the feedback as part of your capstone reflection video.

Part 2

Record a 10–15 minute video reflection on your practicum experience, the development of your capstone project, and your personal and professional growth over the course of your RN-to-BSN program. A transcript of your video is not required.

You're welcome to use any tools and software with which you are comfortable, but make sure you're able to submit the deliverable to your faculty. Capella offers Kaltura, a program that records audio and video. Refer to Using Kaltura for more information about this courseroom tool.

Assessment 2

Assessing the Problem: Quality, Safety, and Cost Considerations

In a 5–7-page written assessment, assess the effect of the patient, family, or population problem you've previously defined on the quality of care, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual. Plan to spend approximately 2 direct practicum hours exploring these aspects of the problem with the patient, family, or group you've chosen to work with and, if desired, consulting with subject matter and industry experts. Document the time spent (your practicum hours) with these individuals or group in the Capella Academic Portal Volunteer Experience Form. Report on your experiences during your first two practicum hours.

Introduction

Organizational data, such as readmission rates, hospital-acquired infections, falls, medication errors, staff satisfaction, serious safety events, and patient experience can be used to prioritize time, resources, and finances. Health care organizations and government agencies use benchmark data to compare the quality of organizational services and report the status of patient safety. Professional nurses are key to comprehensive data collection, reporting, and monitoring of metrics to improve quality and patient safety.

Preparation

In this assessment, you'll assess the effect of the health problem you've defined on the quality of care, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual. Plan to spend at least 2 direct practicum hours working with the same patient, family, or group. During this time, you may also choose to consult with subject matter and industry experts.

To prepare for the assessment:

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 research of the scholarly and professional literature to inform your assessment and meet scholarly expectations for supporting evidence.

Instructions

Practicum Focus Sheet

Assessment 2

Note: Expect to spend at least 2 hours with the patient, family, or group you’ll be working with

during this portion of your practicum, exploring issues of patient safety, quality, and costs

associated with the health problem you’ve defined. This includes time spent in consultation with

subject matter or industry experts. You’ll report on the results of this work as part of your next

assessment.

For this portion of your practicum, discuss, in depth, how the problem will affect patient safety,

quality of care, and costs. Consider the following questions to help guide your exploration of

quality, safety, and costs and to make the most of your time:

• Has the patient, family or group experienced any serious safety events because of the

problem?

• How many times have they gone to the emergency department (ED)?

• How many times have they been hospitalized?

• What is the frequency of ED visits or hospitalizations?

• How many medications are needed to manage the problem?

• Does insurance pay for these medications?

• Have the medications caused any side effects?

• How often are doctors’ visits or other therapies needed?

• Does insurance pay for these visits or treatments?

Requirement
