INTERVENTION PRESENTATION AND CAPSTONE VIDEO REFLECTION
THE TOPIC IS ALCOHOLIC PATIENTS IN THE ER. HOW USING “CAGE” QUESTIONAIRE HELPS WITH THESE PATIENTS
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 assignment, 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 assignment in two parts: present your approved intervention to the patient, family, or group and 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 CORE ELMS.
Use the Intervention Feedback Form 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. Document the time spent (your practicum hours) with these individuals or group in the NURS4900 Volunteer Experience Form in CORE ELMS.
You’re welcome to use any tools and software with which you are comfortable, but make sure you are able to submit the deliverable to your instructor. Capella offers Kaltura, a program that records audio and video. Refer to Using Kaltura for more information about this courseroom tool.
Note: If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in this activity, please contact Disability Services to request accommodations. If you’re unable to record a video, please contact your instructor as soon as possible to explore options for completing the assignment.
