NURS-FPX4900 Assessment 4 Capstone Final Nursing
Project Capella University
Develop an intervention (your capstone project), as a solution to the patient, family, or
population problem you've defined. Submit the proposed intervention to the faculty for review
and approval. This solution needs to be implemented (shared) with your patient, family, or
group. You are not to share your intervention with your patient, family, or group or move on to
Assessment 5 before your faculty reviews/approves the solution you submit in Assessment 4. In
a separate written deliverable, write a 5–7 page analysis of your intervention.
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.
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.
Note: As you revise your writing, check out the resources listed on the Writing Center's Writing
