Include the complexities of the setting and/or the concern such as: pertinent history; political, social, financial and/or other constraints/limitations; resources available or needed; limitations of human factors.
If the focus of your capstone project is not directly related to a significant safety issue you can complete this assignment by identifying one significant safety concern for another clinical site that you have identified such as a place of employment. If you do not use your capstone project site you should email your NURS 499 instructor with your alternate site for this assignment. NURS 499 Safety Assignment (Signature Assignment)
