The document is a stepwise MSN capstone project proposal due over nine weeks, requiring students to complete and submit sections weekly. Students must incorporate instructor feedback into their work, focusing on the topic of adolescent depression and suicide prevention in military veterans aged 45-50. Components include clinical questions, literature reviews, methodology sections, and a PICOT question addressing targeted interventions for reducing suicide rates.

1. MSN Capstone Project Proposal Form
This is a building assignment that you will be completing
over Week 1 through Week 9. This is a stepwise project
proposal assignment in which you will complete one (1) section
each week for your MSN Capstone Project Proposal. By the end
of the Week 9, this form will have been filled in completely and
your MSN Capstone Project Proposal will be completed. It is
important that you keep up with the Weekly Assigned Section.
Each
section is graded separately on a weekly basis while the
final completed form will be graded with an overall grade. Each
week the student will receive feedback from the instructor and
the student is expected to incorporate the instructor feedback to
edit and improve the weekly sections. The Week 9 final
Capstone Project Proposal with be based on students
incorporating the instructor’s weekly feedback.
How to use this form.· Must use the same form for all
sections. The purpose is to have a completed the entire form by
the end of the course.· Complete the week’s section with the
requested information.· There are suggested word counts for
each weekly section to provide you with an idea of what is
expected. · You are to write in full sentences, paragraphs,

State Your Clinical Question Comment by Renita: Changes not
made as suggested by Professor
[100 to 150 words]
· State your clinical question or topic for your capstone project
proposal.
· What issue is the question/topic addressing?
· What are the reasons you selected this question/topic?
Comment by Renita: Must list 3 reasons for choosing the
topic
My topic of interest will be focus on the adolescent depression
and how to identify risk factors to prevent suicide. Adolescent
depression is on the rise. Recent surveys indicate that as many

3. as one in five teens suffers from clinical depression. This
alarming high rate of depression and suicide for adolescents
worldwide is a big concern and it is important to know how to
detect it. Depression can be difficult to diagnose in adolescents
because adults may expect them to act moody. Also, adolescents
do not always understand or express their feelings very well.
They may not be aware of the symptoms of depression and may
not seek help. This proposal addresses an opportunity to
improve providers’ skills to properly identify potential risk
factors and effective treatment tools we can use to better the
life of the depressed adolescent. I chose this topic of interest
because mental health is one of the areas if feel many people
struggle with and they have a stigma against mental health. As a
practitioner want to treat not only the medical condition of my
patients but the mental health side as well.
Week 2
Background Information
[200 to 250 words]

4. Address the following questions/bullets in completing this
section:· Start at the starting point - What, Where, When, Why,
and How?
· What is known about this topic or what is the evidence on this
topic
(Scoping Search)?
· What is the outcome of interest?
· What are the gaps in our understanding or knowing related to
this topic?
Those who will benefit the most from the evidence given are
the veterans of the age 45 years to 50 years as well as the
primary care providers. One of the greatest impact that would
result from the audience which has been provided is the
participation in the primary care clinics whereby they would
benefit beneficial veterans having suicidal ideations take a
period of 3 months up to a year later. 30 being needed include
the which is said to that should be having mandatory categories
which are provided and answerable. The most appropriate man
who would be of the ages 45 to 50 who are involved in most of
military activities care providers. The benefits which would be
observed for this case would include the possibility of having
measures being established on prevention of suicidal ideation
and any other any other tents which would be provided more
primary care follow-ups and other related depression screening.
Some of the potential risk which would be there would include
having failure to follow ups after 3-month. appointment even
having this person aeration increasing in terms of the
percentages and other attempts of primary care follow-ups
unprofitable. One should understand that barriers would include
having tough times in finding enough what are specific age
group experiencing the suicidal ideations and I want correct
enough data if there would be a decrease in their ideation and
attempts more frequent follow ups.

[150 to 200 words]
Provide details of your exhaustive search process. Be certain to
list:
· Databases searched.
· All the keywords or search phrases used.
· How many articles in total that were found?
· List the inclusion/exclusion criteria.
· Provide the number of articles that were retained and a
description on why those articles were retained.
· Consider using a flowchart to outline the search process.
The PubMed is considered to be a citation and abstract index
that is from the National center for biotechnology information
are the United States National Library of medicine. Please that I
found to be more user-friendly doubt supportive evidence based
articles on a period duration of 2017 to 2022. The criteria used
on finding these it was by the certain keyword phrases such as
veteran suicide depression in veterans decreasing suicide
whereby I was able to find out over 150 articles. I also used the
South University Library which is noted to be having
diversified information on I'm suicidal help we're by The
Searchers in these articles were made using the keywords such
as suicide prevention measures and also the words such as the
veteran mental health. From this search I found out that 10
articles review consideration in the discussion about mental
health. Customer on the articles that were discussing
interventions all the various strategies that would be used on
reducing the risk of suicide other articles that were discussing
about the various factors that are contributing to increased
instances being reported.
In the United States which side is considered to be a public
health issue disproportionately faced person who are serving

6. most in the United States military. The US department of
veteran’s affairs has made a number of suicide provisions
measures into top consideration implementation. Veteran affairs
body is committed at having suicide prevention among the
entire population for those who have served in the military
regardless of where they came from benefits they are getting
from the state. Understand that suicide can be prevented by a
number of such as embracing the partners at home, having
friends whom can share issues with and many more. Following a
national strategy the veterans affairs which involves application
of a public health strategy and having the different clinically
based practices and interventions being used.

Evaluation of the effectiveness of the safety plans for military
veterans.
the department of the VA has been responding to issues
contributing to high percentages of suicidal rates by having the
provision of safety plans to the veterans having suicidal
thoughts. Also, there have been major research activities on the

7. efficacy of the SPs but no prior studies have indicated the
degree to which a person would be linked with the outcomes
most relevant on preventing suicidal thoughts/behaviors. The
current studies aims at having more measures of prevention of
suicidal behaviors being established and also being made
effective based on the implementation which is done. The
present study was about examination and the establish on
ensuring that are determined and strategies of reducing the
effects being put in place. Participants who have been involved
in previous studies, whereby most of them are the military
personnel I want other military veterans have been considered
to be much important for the studies.
Team based suicide prevention
This is a strategy that involves the provision of lessons from an
early age based on the collaborative acre provided. one should
understand that the suicidal prevention in any clinical setting is
a very demanding thing as it need coordination of the multiple
clinicians who are having diversity in their skills on handling
issues related to suicidal behaviors. Different challenges and
benefits are experienced by the team approaching to provision
of suicide prevention n the primary care provision whereby a
particular focus for this case is on the veterans. The Veteran
Health Administration is considered to be having both stakes in
the prevention and o the systematic adoption of the different
approaches relating to primary care intervention which would
positively influence the suicidal acre being provided. one
should also understand that the clinical trials a very important
role in the suicidal prevention based on the efforts which are
invested on by the clinicians in ensuring that the whole
activities relating to suicidal prevention would be successfully
initiated positively.
Developing of a practical suicidal risk prediction model for
targeting highly risked patients in the veteran health
administration. The US VHA (Veteran Health Administration) is
noted to have begun on using the predictive modeling in the
identification of the veterans who are at a higher risk of

8. suffering from mental health and other suicidal targets. There
are different longitudinal studies which have been done on the
risk factors for the suicide attempts amongst the military
veterans who have been involved been on wars outside the
country such as Iraq. Identification of the different factors
which are having great suicidal risk thoughts contribution
amongst the veterans is very important as it helps on reporting
of the informed risk assessment and also having the intervention
targets being reported. Most studies have shown that a huge
number of the veterans normally suffers from the posttraumatic
stress disorder and this is one of the factors contributing into
having depression disease which would bring in the mindset of
suicide. The considered strongest predictors pf suicide attempts
are considered to be the suicidal intent, suicidal ideation,
attempted suicide history, alcohol and substance abuse,
depression and the post-traumatic stress disorder. Thus, one
should understand that, the stated issues are main contributors
of suicidal behaviors and thus one should firstly deal with
measures of stabilizing their effects because that would result
into their effect being limited.
Week 5
PICOt Question
State your PICOt question here. Use the elements of the PICOt
in separate sections below to describe each component.
· Population – Provide the description of the targeted
population.
· Intervention – Describe your evidence-based intervention.
Comment by Renita: Changes not made as suggested by
Professor
· Comparison – What is currently happening?
· Outcomes – List at least two (2) measurable outcomes.
· time – What duration of the study for the project? (e.g.,
usually 6 months or 3 months)

9. Population(P):
The population being targeted in this case are the military
veterans of the age 45-50 years who are considered to be having
a higher risk of suffering from suicidal ideations, whereby the
PICOT question is noted to be addressing the higher rate of
having suicidal rate to this group of veteran age and thus
attempts at having the incidences of suicide being reduced.
Intervention (I):
Interventions is another terms whereby it would question on the
primary care follow-up on every 3-months duration, whereby
some of the interventions would include primary acre provided
referrals. Also, patients having high scores of risk of suicidal
thoughts needs to be provided with a personal safety plan and
follow us period of not less than three months.
Comparison (C):
Comparisons related to just having annual screenings and also
provision of the safety plan to patients having higher risk of
interpreted appointments on primary care provision
Outcomes (O):
Outcome is noted to be having 2 measurable outcomes either on
decreased suicide attempts and also on the decreasing of
suicidal ideations.
time (t):
Time for this case is considered to be the duration pf study
being done whereby it would translate into follow-ups during
studies being made and thus helping survey done on
establishing the decreased suicidal thoughts strategies within a

10. three months follow up.

Week 9 & References
In conclusion, the veteran men of the ages 45-50 years, who are
having the risk of having suicidal ideation are noted to be
needing follow up procedures which should be done for a period
of about 3 months and be reinforced by having annual screening
and thus playing an important role on having the risk reduced.
The PICOT question also has been described as very important
in explaining of the alarming rates of having suicide numbers
being reported amongst the military veterans and other
strategies which would be used on ensuring that the risk of
suicide is reduced amongst the veterans ta all the ages. One of
the competencies you would expect to use in the implementation
of this project is leadership skills which is considered to be a
complex and multi-faceted skills. The other one is quality
adherence and assurance whereby this would be observed in the
management plans and also in the products and services which
are offered in the acre provision to person having suicidal
thoughts or ideation. Lastly, is on having ethical observation
and consideration which would be observed in the decision
making, ethical reasoning and the leadership related skills
which should be within the ethics of practice.
The target population for this case are veteran men of age 45-50
years of age who are noted to be on higher risk of suicidal

19. ideation and even suicidal attempts. These person or age group
of Veterans have been identified to be at a risk by the US
veteran Health Administration via the predictive modelling in
the identification of veterans who are at a higher risk. The
patients who have been enrolled in the VHA benefits are noted
to be seeking care from the considered local veteran’s affair
medical centers.
Week 7
I (Intervention)
[100 to 200 words]
Address the following questions/bullets in completing this
section:
· What are you planning to investigate or implement as a
policy/process or program?
· What are you doing that is different than what is currently
happening?
· List
2-3 potential actions that will be applied in
this practice change.
NOTE: Be very specific in your description.
The plans I am having on implementation of the strict follow up
policies for the different patients normally involves having
them being assessed and also labeled based on the groups
having higher risk of suicidal ideations. The patients would then
be provided with more personalized safety plan and follow up
from a period of 3 months but the current practices would be
varying from about 6months up to one year. These also needs to
be provided the personalized safety plan as the patient families
are also part of the establishment plan as it would help families

20. on recognizing the suicidal ideations on one of their own and
provided the most needed care.
*For purposes of this Proposal Project Form the assumption will
be that the C (Comparison Group) is ‘traditional care or current
care’
Week 8
O (Outcomes to be measured)
[100 to 150 words]
Every project is required to have an evaluation plan. Address
the following questions/bullets in completing this section:
· Which
2-3 outcomes are expected for your project?
· What outcomes will be measured?
· How do you plan to do this?
· What tool will you be using to measure your outcome(s)?
· What data will be used to validate success of the project?
Be sure your outcomes link to the identified problem.
· How will you know if your intervention resulted in change?
Increasing of the follow-ups with the help of the primary care
givers for a period for a period of three months or more would
be one of the plans which would include having implementation
of the safety plan whereby each of the patient would be
screened or basically there be done the suicide assessment.
Another outcome would on having the deduction of the risk that
is there on having suicidal thoughts and any suicide attempts to
person of aged 45-50 years by having the implementation of the
safety plan, having those of predictive modeling in
identification of veterans at higher risk and also having the
increased follow ups procedures and implementations. The tool

21. which would be used for this case would be the regression
model which is noted to be predictive meaning that there would
an exploratory analysis being done on the machine learning
algorithms results obtained. One would know an intervention
resulted in a change by having the evidence obtained that there
is a decrease in the suicidal thoughts and also on the actions
based on the follow ups reports which have been reported and
thus indicating either positive or negative success of the
interventions which would have been used.

Management of Persistent Pain in Older Adults

25. George Peraza-Smith, APRN, DNP, FAANP1; DNP Chair2,
GNP, DNP, FAANP

Abstract
Even though persistent pain is highest among
older adults, they have been insufficiently
represented in clinical trials and studies on the
management of persistent pain. Agism has had
a negative impact on the adequate assessment
and management of pain in older adults.
Evidence has emerged indicating serious risk for
cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and renal
dysfunction with consistent use of NSAIDs and
COX-2 analgesics. Other evidence supports the
efficacious use of opioid analgesic in the
treatment of moderate-to-severe persistent pain
in older adults. Updated guidelines recommend
more reliance on opioid analgesia.. This
proposal aim is to implement an evidence-based
practice protocol on the pharmacological
management of persistent pain in older adults.
Background Information
An estimated 25% to 50% of older adults living
in the community and up to 80% of those in
nursing homes experience significant pain at
least some of the time. Undertreated persistent
pain in older adults has been linked to
depression, anxiety, cognitive impairment,
delirium, sleep disturbances, functional decline
and increased healthcare utilization and cost.
This project will implement a best practice so
that each older adult in a clinic will be assessed
and treated more effectively.

26. Persistent pain is a personal emotional and physical
experience.
Untreated or Inadequate Pain Management
• Persistent pain is under-recognized and under-treated
in older adults in many settings.
• Those with dementia have a greater risk for
inappropriate and inadequate pain treatment.
Pain Assessment with Older Adults
• Many older adults under-report their pain so as not to
be a burden.
• Numeric Rating Scale (1-10) has been shown
ineffective with older adults.
•IPT has high validity and reliability.
Opioid Use with Older Adults
• Guidelines support for persistent pain.
• Prescribing practice of opioids in older adults is mixed.
