Appendix A
Thank you for participating in my final Senior Capstone Project! The focus of my project is to examine the
knowledge that new graduate nurses have about nursing rounds and performing hourly checks on patients. The goal of
nursing rounds is to minimize call light use, reduce the risk of falls, and increase patient satisfaction. Your
responses will provide insight into what new graduate nurses know about nursing rounds and will allow me to come to
conclusions that will help inform all nurses about the importance of nursing rounds.
