In this assignment, students will pull together the capstone project change proposal components they have been working on throughout the course to create a proposal inclusive of sections for each cont

EXAMPLES OF APPENDICES
NOTE:
These are some of the examples but we cannot use same unless can find the references or find something similar to generate the Appendices.
Appendix A: Primary Methods
(Pressure Ulcers, 2018)
Appendix B: Pressure Ulcer Staging
| Stage of Ulcer | Description |
| Stage 1 | Intact skin that is usually over a bony prominence and discolored but is nonblanchable. The skin can also be warm, hard, pain, or have edema noted. |
| Stage 2 | A partial thickness loss of the skin. This is demonstrated by a shallow open would that can be red or pink in color. This stage does not present with slough tissue. This can also be an intact or ruptured blister. |
| Stage 3 | A full thickness skin/ tissue loss. Subcutaneous fat can be visible, but bone, muscles, and tendons are not at this stage. Slough can be present. |
| Stage 4 | A full thickness tissue loss that has bone, tissue, and/or muscle exposed through the skin. Slough or eschar can be present. |
| Unstageable | A full thickness tissue loss where the depth of the wound cannot be determined because it is greatly covered with slough and/or eschar. An unstageable ulcer can also be classified as an ulcer that cannot be staged because there is a device in place that cannot be removed. |
