â?¢ Identifying a Problem, Developing a Question, and Selecting Sources of Literature
â?¢ Examine the clinical practice setting for problems, issues, and opportunities to improve patient care.
â?¢ Evaluate a problem or issue and its significance to nursing.

Identifying a Problem:
I need to prepare a written proposal for a project that is focused on the resolution of an issue or problem significant to professional nursing practice. The proposal will include a problem description, resolution, implementation plans, evaluation plans, and proposed dissemination of findings. The professional capstone project proposal needs to reflect synthesis and integration of course content and professional practice.
