Practicum Project Plan (PPP) Overview: Measures to prevent falls in elderly demented patient

The Practicum Project Plan is a scholarly proposal for the project you will conduct at your practicum site.

Project Planning Guidelines

 As you proceed with your Practicum Project planning, keep in mind that approximately half of your practicum hours may be spent on your Practicum Project. The development of the PPP does not count toward your practicum hours, and you may not begin to earn practicum hours for your project until your proposal is approved.

Your actual Practicum Project must be completed by Day 77. Be sure to develop your plan accordingly. Due to the limited time frame, your project should not include surveys, focus groups, collection of data, or any activities that require Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval.

In addition, remember that your Practicum Project goal and objectives are distinct from the practicum professional development objectives you developed as part of your Professional Experience Plan.

Practicum Project Plan (PPP)

This is the 4- to 6-page scholarly paper, referred to as your Practicum Project Plan (PPP), in which you will formulate a detailed plan for the problem or issue you are examining at your practicum site. Your paper will include the following:

Title:

The title should include the name of your project and should follow the Uniform- Guidelines format.

Introduction:

The introduction includes the purpose of the paper, the goal of the project, and the name of the project. It also outlines the structure of the paper.

Goal statement:

A goal statement identifies what you expect to accomplish, the focus area, and the population. It introduces the project and conveys, in broad terms, how you plan to solve a particular problem or issue.

Project objectives:

Project objectives delineate your strategy for reaching the goal and the steps you will

follow to complete the project. You must include two or three measurable objectives that use Application-level or higher verbs from Bloom’s Taxonomy.

Evidence-based review of the literature for project justification:

This review provides evidence-based support for your identified problem, project methods, and evaluation. The literature should be directed toward justifying the project, not focus on potential solutions. You must include a review of your specialization’s professional-practice standards and guidelines related to your project and a minimum of five (5) scholarly references for this section of the paper.

Methodology:

This section addresses in detail how you will accomplish the project objectives. Include, as relevant, the who, when, where, and how of each objective.

Resources:

Identify and justify the human, physical, and/or technical resources you will need to complete this project. Note that for this assignment, you do not have to address the financial aspects of your plan.

Formative evaluation:

Describe how and when you will conduct a formative evaluation of your project. Explain how you will use the evaluation results and how you will determine if the project is proceeding as planned.

Summative evaluation:

Describe how and when you will conduct a summative evaluation of your project. Explain how you will use the evaluation results.

Timeline:

Create a graphic timeline representing significant stages of your project. Provide a narrative to help your Faculty SME understand the timeline. Include the graphic timeline in an Appendix to your Practicum Project Plan.

References:

References should be formatted in APA style and reflect current nursing/health literature (i.e., published within the past 5 years).

 Note: You must use APA-style headings, but you are not required to title the headings as listed above.

The Practicum Project Plan is due by day 3.
