Assessment 5 Instructions: 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.

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.

 

Demonstration of Proficiency 

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:

  • Competency 2: Make clinical and operational decisions based upon the best available evidence. 
    • Describe one’s use of evidence and peer-reviewed literature to plan and implement a capstone project.
  • Competency 3: Transform processes to improve quality, enhance patient safety, and reduce the cost of care. 
    • Explain whether capstone project outcomes matched one's initial predictions.
  • Competency 4: Apply health information and patient care technology to improve patient and systems outcomes. 
    • Assess the degree to which one successfully leveraged health care technology in a capstone project to improve outcomes or communication with a patient, family, or group.
  • Competency 5: Analyze the impact of health policy on quality and cost of care. 
    • Explain how health policy influenced the planning and implementation of one’s capstone project, as well as any contributions the project made to policy development.
  • Competency 7: Implement patient-centered care to improve quality of care and the patient experience. 
    • Assess the contribution of an intervention (capstone project) to patient, family, or group satisfaction and quality of life.
  • Competency 8: Integrate professional standards and values into practice. 
    • Assess one’s personal and professional growth throughout a capstone project and the RN-to-BSN program.
    • Communicate professionally in a clear and well-organized video.

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.

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.

Requirements

The assessment requirements, outlined below, correspond to the scoring guide criteria, so address each main point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. In addition, note the additional requirements for supporting evidence.

  • Assess the contribution of your intervention to patient or family satisfaction and quality of life. 
    • Describe feedback received from the patient, family, or group on your intervention as a solution to the problem.
    • Explain how your intervention enhances the patient, family, or group experience.
  • Describe your use of evidence and peer-reviewed literature to plan and implement your capstone project. 
    • Explain how the principles of evidence-based practice informed this aspect of your project.
  • Assess the degree to which you successfully leveraged health care technology in your capstone project to improve outcomes or communication with the patient, family, or group. 
    • Identify opportunities to improve health care technology use in future practice.
  • Explain how health policy influenced the planning and implementation of your capstone project, as well as any contributions your project made to policy development. 
    • Note specific observations related to the baccalaureate-prepared nurse's role in policy implementation and development.
  • Explain whether capstone project outcomes matched your initial predictions. 
    • Discuss the aspects of the project that met, exceeded, or fell short of your expectations.
    • Discuss whether your intervention can, or will be, adopted as a best practice.
    • Describe the generalizability of your intervention outside this particular setting.
  • Assess your personal and professional growth throughout your capstone project and the RN-to-BSN program. 
    • Address your provision of ethical care and demonstration of professional standards.
    • Identify specific growth areas of which you are most proud or in which you have taken particular satisfaction.
  • Communicate professionally in a clear, audible, and well-organized video.

Assessing the Problem
Pregnant women from minority groups have expressed their frustrations at the quality of healthcare afforded to them. For instance, black women have climbed the socioeconomic classes over the years; however, African American women are 2.5 more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than their white counterparts. Young, minority, less-educated, single, and low-income mothers were enthusiastic at the prospect of getting increased coverage. They believed increasing their Medicaid coverage will improve their hospital experiences and ensure the pregnancies are less stressful. On the other end, some women are reluctant to accept this intervention as they consider it a handout. Therefore, they need some convincing to assure them that there are no strings attached to the increase of their Medicaid coverage. The coverage also extends to the children, which means they qualify to regularly access quality healthcare.
Consequently, they avoid the predicaments that uninsured children and mothers go through. This group is the last to receive care in any department, therefore increasing the risk of hospitalization. Thus, the patient, family, or group is qualified to receive amenable timely outpatient care, a thorough diagnosis of life-threatening conditions.
The fundamental principle of evidence-based practice is that excellent decision-making is heavily reliant on credible evidence. Many individuals use evidence to make their decisions; however, they ignore the quality of the evidence. Consequently, the result is terrible decisions based on unfounded beliefs, fads, and ideas made famous by anyone willing to publish the evidence. For my paper to be credible, I sought peer-reviewed literature to plan a concrete argument on the disparities affecting pregnant women from minority communities. The peer-reviewed articles report on studies conducted by credible government entities such as The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Division of Reproductive Health administers PRAMS, and city health departments CITATION Jam20 \l 1033 (Jamie R. Daw, 2020). Using the principle of evidence-based practice, I concluded that expanding insurance coverage is the primary intervention I will focus on. This is due to the evidence I gathered from peer-reviewed articles that showed Medicaid expansion significantly improved perinatal insurance continuity for low-income women.
I have leveraged health care technology such as software and websites to improve the interactions with the patients. My use of technology also extends to conventional devices such as mobile phones and laptops. I encouraged the patients to open up on their interests and take on popular culture. This approach allowed them to feel comfortable with sharing their fears and mistrust of the healthcare system. The recurring theme is they feel helpless in such a crucial stage of their lives. Their doubts and insecurities are heightened when they see successful women such as Beyonce and Serena William struggle to the brink of death, delivering a child.
Technology is here to stay, and it can only improve our lives if it is managed correctly. There are opportunities in healthcar...
