Part 2: Individualized Practicum Learning Objectives

Objective 1: During the following 10 weeks, I will examine and diagnose at least three individuals with comorbid mental diseases utilizing the DSM-V diagnostic criteria (Academic Skills Center Success Strategies, n.d.).

Planned Activities: To prevent delays in care provision, I will ensure that I complete every patient’s health history during my hourly rounds on time.

Mode of Assessment: Achieving this target will be based on successfully diagnosing at least 10 patients each week until the completion of this practicum experience (Shain et al., 2018).

PRAC Course Outcome(s) Addressed:

• Assess the potential and strengths of one’s advanced practitioner psychiatric-mental health nursing skills.
• Develop diagnostic differentials for patients in mental institution settings of all ages.
• Use advanced nursing practice assessment, diagnostic, and therapeutic skills in mental health settings.

Objective 2: After completing my practicum, I will be able to select and employ the best screening tool required to support the accurate diagnosis of at least five patients with concurrent psychiatric conditions each day over the following ten weeks independently (Standards of Practice for Nurse Practitioners, n.d.).

Planned Activities: I’ll go over several methods for diagnosing various mental illnesses. Then, depending on the patient’s subjective and objective data, I will only use the diagnostic approaches that are appropriate for each patient.

Mode of Assessment: To evaluate if the diagnostic tool’s findings are consistent with DSM-V findings, I will use the diagnostic criteria from DSM-V. (Shain et al., 2018).

PRAC Course Outcome(s) Addressed:

• Utilize advanced practice nursing assessment, diagnostic, and therapeutic skills in mental health settings.
• Analyze instances of cutting-edge mental health care for patients of all ages.
• Develop differential diagnoses for clients of every age in mental health settings.

Objective 3: Throughout the next 11 weeks, I will educate at least five patients on the best group or family therapy modalities, as well as the usage of psychotropic drugs to encourage favorable outcomes (International Council of Nurses, 2020).

Planned Activities: Each day, I shall research the pathogenesis of the psychiatric disease each patient is dealing with, explain how the sickness works, and explain how to employ psychotherapy therapies to manage it.

Mode of Assessment: Each patient will have the opportunity to provide comments and ask questions so I can find out whether they are satisfied with the information I have provided (Shain et al., 2018).

PRAC Course Outcome(s) Addressed:

• Analyze instances of cutting-edge mental health care for patients of all ages.
• Develop efficient treatment plans that use both psychopharmacology and psychotherapy techniques.
• Work as a social change agent with interdisciplinary teams to enhance clinical practice in mental hospitals.

Part 3: Projected Timeline/Schedule

I intend to complete the 144 or 160 Practicum hours (as applicable) according to the following timeline/schedule. I also understand that I must see at least 80 patients during my practicum experience. I understand that I may not complete my practicum hours sooner than 8 weeks. I understand I may not be in the practicum setting longer than 8 hours per day unless pre-approved by my faculty.

PRACTICUM EXPERIENCE PLAN (PEP)

As you establish your goals and objectives for this course, you are committing to an organized plan that will frame your practicum experience in a clinical setting, including planned activities, assessment, and achievement of defined outcomes. In particular, your plan must address the categories of clinical reasoning, quality in your clinical specialty, and interpersonal collaborative practice.

For this Assignment, you will consider the areas you aim to focus on to gain practical experience as an advanced practice nurse. Then, you will develop a Practicum Experience Plan (PEP) containing the objectives you will fulfill in order to achieve your aims. In this practicum experience, when developing your goals and objectives, be sure to keep PMHNP clinical skills in mind.

WEEKLY RESOURCES

TO PREPARE

• Review your Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form you submitted last week and think about areas for which you would like to gain application-level experience and/or continued growth as an advanced practice nurse. How can your experiences in the practicum help you achieve these aims? 
• Review the information related to developing objectives provided in this week’s Learning Resources. Your practicum learning objectives that you want to achieve during your practicum experience must be:
  • Specific 
  • Measurable 
  • Attainable 
  • Results-focused 
  • Time-bound
  • Reflective of the higher-order domains of Bloom’s taxonomy (i.e., application level and above) 

Note: Please make sure your objectives are individualized and outlined in your Practicum Experience Plan (PEP). While you may add previous objectives to continue to work toward. You must have 3 new objectives for each class, each quarter.

• Discuss your professional aims and your proposed practicum objectives with your Preceptor to ascertain if the necessary resources are available at your practicum site.
• Select one nursing theory and one counseling/psychotherapy theory to best guide your clinical practice. Explain why you selected these theories. Support your approach with evidence-based literature.
• Create a timeline of practicum activities that demonstrates how you plan to meet these goals and objectives based on your practicum requirements.

THE ASSIGNMENT

Record the required information in each area of the Practicum Experience Plan template, including three to four (3–4) measurable practicum Learning Objectives you will use to facilitate your learning during the practicum experience.

BY DAY 7 OF WEEK 2
