The purpose of this assignment will be to begin developing an implementation plan for your project.
In 750-1,000-words, include the following in your plan:
In 1-2 sentences, summarize the problem or issue being addressed by your proposed change project.
Based on the assessment of your practicum site and the literature evaluation you completed in Topic 4, propose how you will address the identified problem or issue (this will be the solution). Solutions should include sociocultural and linguistic considerations and affect nursing practice.
Discuss steps for how the nursing practice intervention will be implemented in the capstone project change proposal proposed above. In your discussion include the impact it will have on nursing practice.
Write a list of three to five objectives for your proposed intervention. Remember, objectives serve as the goals of your project.
Based on your objectives, develop a list of three to five measurable outcomes for your proposed intervention. Remember, outcomes serve as the tangible, measurable results of implementing your project and should align with your objectives.
Provide a rationale for how your proposed project, objectives, and outcomes demonstrate respect for autonomy (self-determination) for individuals and diverse populations. 
You are required to cite a minimum of two peer-reviewed sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the past 5 years, appropriate for the assignment criteria, and relevant to nursing practice.

Prepare a 4–5 page capital budget for a major capital acquisition.
You are the unit manager of a 50-bed, step-down unit, and it is time for you to prepare your annual capital budget. You have seen a significant turnover in your nursing staff in the past three years; a review of exit interviews and patient surveys indicates low nurse satisfaction, poor morale, and complaints of an antiquated and depressing work environment. You have researched the impact of a positive working environment on staff productivity and morale and decided to request a renovation of the nurses’ lounge as the main purchase in your capital budget. You will present your request as a quality improvement investment.
As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community.

What steps would you need to take?

What challenges do you anticipate in justifying a capital budget to administrative leaders in an organization?
What criteria might a particular health care organization or service provider apply to evaluate the return on a capital investment?
