to:**
A) Teach advanced clinical skills
B) Integrate and apply prior learning to address a real-world nursing practice
problem
C) Prepare students for the NCLEX exam
D) Complete a research study with human subjects
**Correct Answer: B**
*Rationale:* The BSN Capstone Course is designed to integrate knowledge from
all previous courses and apply it to address a real-world nursing practice problem
through a comprehensive capstone project.
---
**Q2. Which of the following is NOT a typical component of the NURS FPX4055
capstone project?**
A) Identification of a practice problem
B) Review of evidence-based literature
C) Implementation of a quality improvement intervention
D) Independent surgical procedure performance

**Q3. The capstone project in NURS FPX4055 is typically completed:**
A) In a single week
B) Over the duration of the course (approximately 10-12 weeks)
C) In one day
D) During a clinical rotation only
**Correct Answer: B**
*Rationale:* The capstone project is a comprehensive endeavor completed over the
duration of the course (typically 10-12 weeks), allowing time for planning,
implementation, data collection, analysis, and dissemination.

**Q5. The PICOT question format is used in NURS FPX4055 to:**
A) Replace the need for a literature review
B) Structure a clinical question that guides evidence search and project design
C) Eliminate stakeholder involvement
D) Skip the data analysis phase
**Correct Answer: B**
