In the first chapter, clearly state what the purpose of the study is and explain the study’s significance. The significance is addressed by discussing how the study adds to nursing’s body of knowledge in the field and the study’s practical significance for communication among professionals in the field. Without a clearly defined introduction, purpose and strong theoretical grounding, the project is fundamentally flawed from the outset.
This chapter is typically 5 pages in length.

quick reminder of the capstone project.
The aim of the project is to reduce the patient’s fall rate in the skilled nursing unit at an acute care facility through improving the fall precaution process. The unit consists of 48 bed with a population of stroke, medical, and surgical patients. The focus of the nursing staff education using handouts, brochures, and poster will be based on the results from pre and post intervention audits. The goal of this fall reduction project is to have the nursing staff learn, review, and apply fall prevention interventions for fall risk patients in order to help reduce fall rate by 5 percent within a five month period, from january2020 through june2020.
