Contribution of the intervention
Capstone process paper helps in reflecting what has been learned how the project has
been effective on others and you included and looking for ways to advance in the future. The
guidelines put in place to help regulate the spread of Covid 19 were easy but they were hard to
remember. Patients complained about them forgetting to put on their masks each time they left
their rooms. Social distancing was a problem at first because the elderly people were used to
each other so they wanted an alternative method that was not easy to be found (Rossolatos,
2020). They were also happy about the teaching on Covid, especially the signs, symptoms, and
modes of transmission. The intervention guidelines and strategies were meant to be used during
the Covid 19 pandemic and during any pandemic that may arise in the future. The number of
new infections per day reduced. Though not fully effective with the positive results some were
hopeful that they will be able to curb it in the future.
Literature review
Covid 1 was first discovered in Wuhan China and so far the global confirmed cases are
160 074 267 with 3 325 260 confirmed deaths. More than nine manuscripts are talking about the
effect of Covid 19 on children under the age of twelve years (Ramesh, 2021). How it affects their
motor factors and psychological growth. Very few studies have been developed on how to return
to normalcy at school and home after the pandemic. Covid has led to schools avoiding physical
learning and since education must continue e-learning has become an option. According to
Murgatrotd the main changes in online learning are a problem with the education policy,
availability, affordability, plasticity, and learning pedagogy.
Improving Health Care Technology in Future Practice

Meetings with other health departments can be held virtually through zoom meetings or
Face time. The virtual meeting will help reduce the physical gatherings. Digital thermometers
will be needed in taking people's temperatures at the exits and entrances. Screening machines
will also be needed in health facilities, in plenty to help detect any Covid 19 symptoms
(Fitzgerald, 2021). Because the disease is becoming serious nurses will be needed to monitor all
patients virtually without having to visit their rooms. Modified vans other than ambulances will
be needed to run medical errands for covid 19 patients and also carry them when they needed
further medical attention.
Health care Policy on Planning and Implementation of the Capstone Project
According to the baccalaureate-prepared nurse role solution to problems cannot be found
by employing more nurses or more personal assistants rather by improving the quality of the
nurses in position. Nurse required according to baccalaureate-prepared should be self-driven,
should be able to practice learning and practice and finally, they should have self-perception
(Hoogendijk, 2016). The capstone project help nurses improve all these skills during the research
and implementation of this project. Covid 19 heath policies were a bit challenging during the
research. Limited traveling, reduced interviews due to the social distancing policy, and finally,
observation was not easy, most people were covered in masks. Putting reminders to tell people
when to put on the masks was a great contribution to the health policy. Inventing ways on how to
educate the elderly on Covid 19 was a great contribution as them being aware of the symptoms
and measures on how to curb it will help reduce the rate of infection.
Capstone Project Outcomes
The targeted expectation for this project was to educate the old people using audio and
video communication on Covid 19 in general. This will enhance their understanding due to their
4
reduced memory capacity and slowed learning (Alatrany, 2020). After educating I was looking
forward to reducing the number of new infections per day. All of them were vulnerable but those
with conditions were more vulnerable so separating them and giving them special attention to
prolong their life was another expectation. The number of new infections reduced though not as
expected. The more vulnerable group can now receive special attention and there are fewer death
cases among them.
Most of them can remember the strategies on how to curb corona and they are striving to
achieve the objectives. My intervention should be used as it is easy, general, and covers a bigger
population not just the old people. The method of teaching can also be applied to small kids
which makes the practice convenient and easy. Reminders and digital thermometers can also be
used in school to remind students to put on their masks. Digital thermometers will take their
temperatures during entrances and exits to help detect the covid signs (Pudjaprasetya & Kamalia,
2018). Meetings via zoom and Face time can be adopted by big companies to avoid physical
contact.
Professional and Personal growth during Capstone Project
This project has boosted my self-perception and esteem. The hard work and dedication I
have put through the project have helped me realize that I am capable of something bigger. I
finished most of the difficult courses in junior session so I became a bit lazy but this project has
reenergized my vigor in this final year. It is a self-driven task so it will help me learn how to ask
questions when I start working. The capstone project has been proof of the knowledge I have
learned since I enrolled in college. This is because it shows schedule, focus, determination, and
application of knowledge and skills. This project has reminded me of the things I learned before
that I may have forgotten, and this will be very crucial when it comes to the actual field.
