Directions: Submit Sections 1 – 4 and (REFERENCE-13 )

1.
Introduction: The function of the introduction is to attract or grab the reader’s interest and attention. The introduction consists of a broad overview of the project problem. The introduction should contain information that informs the reader about the basic nature and scope of the problem. References and statistics can be briefly utilized to reinforce the significance of (the importance) and the need (justification) for the project. The student is advised to begin a reference page on a separate page (the last page of the paper) entitled as the Reference page with all articles used to write this section cited in APA format. The introduction section should be presented in one to two paragraphs and should range in length between ½ of one page to 1 ½ pages maximum. In accordance with APA guidelines, there is no header for the introduction section because the introduction is clearly identified by its position in the manuscript.

2.
Statement of Purpose: This section follows the introduction. The Statement of Purpose describes the purpose of the project in one succinct and concise statement and clearly identifies to the reader what (product) is to be produced as a result of the project, who the project is intended for (participants), where the project will be utilized (the intended setting), and why the project is being developed. For example:
Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this project is to develop an educational training program (what- product) for adult mental health nurses (who) working in a psychiatric inpatient hospital setting (where) to promote understanding regarding the importance and benefits of implementing the Recovery Model into mental health nursing practice (why).

* The title of the project reflects the Statement of Purpose. For example: A Recovery Model Educational Training Program for Adult Mental Health Nurses Working in a Psychiatric Inpatient Hospital Setting.

3.
Theoretical Framework and Nursing’s Metaparadigm: This section follows the Statement of Purpose. The student chooses a nursing theory to guide and support the development of the project. A second theory from a discipline outside of nursing such as sociology, education, or management non-nursing theorist may also be used. The theoretical framework section introduces the theory and includes a discussion of the major components, concepts, definitions, assumptions, and propositions found within the theory. The theory needs to “fit” well with original concepts describing the project purpose. The student summarizes how the theory “fits” the project purpose by discussing how the theory’s main components, concepts, definitions, assumptions, and propositions are connected or related to the project purpose. The most current theory source (text) is to be used when possible a

Abstract

The project problem states, “How can nurses provide additional support for elderly patients when their main concerns revolve around the home as a place of fear for their return?” Due to the nature of the nursing workload in the hospital setting, discharge planning tends to be pushed aside due to other priorities. However, it is important that as much as patients are cared for in the inpatient setting, they also need proper preparations for their home setting. The project’s purpose is to provide assistance for nurses and develop a nursing resource guide with regards to important points needed in discharge planning. Dorothea Orem’s Self-Care Deficit nursing theory (Orem, 1991; Orem et al., 2003) is utilized as the theoretical framework for the project. Five content experts will review the resource guide for content validity.

Abstract

Obesity has become a significant concern in the healthcare system, and diet is the key contributing factor to obesity. Therefore, a healthy diet should be the primary requirement in reducing weight and improving overall health. The health life knowledge gap among patients and limited nursing education programs contribute to this condition. Nurses should work closely with patients to provide healthcare education that will help patients improve their nutrition habits and identify the challenges the patients face in maintaining a healthy diet. An education training program for nurses in outpatient settings regarding obesity and diet will allow nurses to advance their knowledge on the risk factors of obesity, the health conditions associated with obesity, and how to manage obesity (Mitchell et al. 2018).
