The first part of the project, the Capstone Evidence-based Paper Part 1, provides the foundation for this
final paper which includes the topic and an initial search of the literature. The student is now ready to
gather additional background information on the clinical issue, the patient population and develop a plan
that could be carried out by a nurse to resolve the clinical issue. When developing the completed Capstone
Evidence-based Paper Part 2, the student is expected to reflect on the knowledge and experience gained in
the nursing program and to continue to draw from one of the four main categories of the NCLEX-RN
examination blueprint.
