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.

WEEK 3 EXAMPLE
MEDLINE, and PsycINFO (via Ovid), CINAHL Plus, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials in the Cochrane Library (via Wiley), ProQuest, and OpenGrey databases were searched from January 2010 to October 2021. Search terms were identified from existing reviews. Free-text terms for searching titles, abstracts, and key words were combined with database-specific MeSH terms that reflect the following aspects: [opioids] AND [pain] AND [older adult population] AND [chronic pain OR persistent [pain] AND [skilled nursing OR nursing home OR long-term care]. Full-text electronic limits were applied to database searches. Inclusion criteria included studies with adults 50 year and older and assessment tools while exclusion criteria included articles that were non-English, non-full text, primarily focused on adults 50 years and younger, and acute pain. A total of 541 articles were identified and included 22 systematic reviews. Total articles after duplications were removed were 128. Articles meeting the inclusion criteria resulted in 47 for scanning. After scanning and determining those articles that were not studies or that had weak methodology were removed. The total number of articles remaining for the literature review was 10 articles. These articles were used for the review because they all included persistent or chronic pain assessment and management in older adults in skilled nursing facilities or long-term care
