NURS-FPX4900: Capstone Project for Nursing

Intervention Presentation and Capstone Video Reflection

Hello everyone, my name is Kayleen, and I have served as a registered nurse at Kindred Hospital Los Angeles for approximately 18 months. In today’s presentation, I wish to share my reflections on my capstone project, focusing on my young patient, John, a 10-year-old clinically diagnosed with obesity. John’s case exhibits the concerning epidemic of childhood obesity, underscored by his unhealthy lifestyle and inadequate awareness of its long-term health implications. John’s condition has already led to significant health issues, including early onset of diabetes and hypertension. After investing considerable hours scrutinizing his situation and identifying achievable objectives, I devised an intervention plan pivotal to John’s case. The program focused on nutritional education and lifestyle modifications to evoke an adequate response from John and his family. In this capstone reflection, I will detail the project’s course, its impact on John’s health, and the knowledge I gained from this invaluable experience. 

Evaluating the Impact of Intervention on Patient Satisfaction and Life Quality 

The implemented intervention, comprising a nutritional intervention program and a physical activity regimen, was targeted to address John’s clinical obesity. Being an impressionable 10-year-old, John was at the center of this plan. Feedback provided by John’s family proved to be most encouraging. Over time they felt more confident about handling John’s health, and the behavioral changes in his nutrition habits improved drastically. Providing nutritious, calorie-appropriate meals became more accessible as the family learned to decipher nutritional facts on food packaging and the importance of portion control (Xiang et al., 2021). The program also imparted hands-on training for simple, healthy recipes ensuring John could enjoy varied meals without compromising his health. The physical activity component was tailored to John’s interests, ensuring sustainability.

He commenced with short walks, gradually increasing to age-appropriate exercises. Incorporating activities he enjoyed, like swimming and cycling, made the physical regimen a fun routine rather than a chore, nurturing an active lifestyle. The transformation was also psychological. John reported heightened self-esteem and increased energy levels, which improved his performance in school. His educators noted a significant positive change in his attentiveness and participation. In summary, the intervention had a salient impact on John’s health, his family’s understanding and management of his condition, and their overall quality of life. A sense of agency replaced their initial hopelessness, John’s health improved, and they demonstrated the determination to sustain these lifestyle modifications, proving the intervention’s success.
