Why this project?
Discuss what is happening that made you decide to do your capstone project
What gap in practice have you identified that is not in line with current evidence-based practice?
Issues that need to be resolved
Example:
The nurses at a facility are making many medication errors
For your capstone project you decide you will try to reduce the number of medication errors from 10 per week to three per week.
You will have to analyze why the errors are taking place.
Maybe the lighting in the medication room is poor or maybe the nurses are working 70 hours every week.
You will also need to locate at least 3 peer-reviewed articles that support
your analysis.
