by | Aug 30, 2023 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

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 psychiatric assessment and diagnostic reasoning in mind. 

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 outlined in your Practicum Experience Plan (PEP).  

  • Discuss your professional aims and your proposed practicum objectives with your Preceptor to ascertain if the necessary resources are available at your practicum site. 

Assignment

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


FEEDBACK FROM ASSIGNMENT 2 (CLCINICAL SKILLS SELF-ASSESSMENT)

Missing introduction with purpose statement.

Sep 6, 12:18 PM

Your goal must address skills that you will gain during the practicum course and that you can clearly document and demonstrate that you completed the goal. Writing Smart goals is certainly an important skill. However, what practicum or clinical skill will you gain during the 10-week course?

For example: I will independently conduct 3 comprehensive psychiatric evaluations by week 10.

Objective: I will observe my preceptor conduct at least one comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. This goal and objective can be documented in meditrek. Therefore, allowing you to demonstrate that you meet your goal at the end of the practicum.

Sep 6, 12:22 PM

This course if focused on assessment and diagnosing. When you narrow down this far it may make it difficult for you to demonstrate at the end of the course that you met this goal. Week 2 assignment will require you to connect your goals to the course learning outcomes. How would you document and demonstrate you met this goal? It is possible that you may not encounter any major ethical or legal issues during your practicum hour. I encourage you to rethink this goal.

Sep 6, 12:24 PM

This is not time specific and again how will you document and demonstrate you met this goal. How does this connect by to the course learning outcomes?

Part 2: Individualized Practicum Learning Objectives

Objective 1: To improve my skills and techniques in psychiatric assessments and evaluations when addressing the health issues of mental health patients. (What is the time frame?) feedback

Planned Activities: To exceed the minimum

required number of patients that should be assesses and evaluated (80) during the practicum for the purpose of enhancing my knowledge about the efficient skills and techniques to be used for similar patients.

(Define exceed, it must be measurable. If your goal is to see 90 then state that. However, you do not need to exceed the required number to reach your goal). Feedback

Mode of Assessment: An assessment of the reliability, validity, standardization, and practicality of the assessment techniques

used is the mode of assessment for this objective (Gold & Frierson, 2017). (The mode of assessment is how do you plan on documenting and providing evidence you met your goal. For example, in this goal you would document at least 80 patient encounters in meditrek). Feedback

PRAC Course Outcome(s) Addressed:

· To enable the interpretation of an individual’s mental health status based on the assessment carried out. (This is not one of the PRAC course outcomes listed in the syllabus and in two previous course announcements explaining that you must connect your goals to these specific outcomes. Please see the syllabus) (Feedback)

Objective 2: To improve my skills of integration of assessment findings and differential diagnosis to identify and prioritize the health

issues of mentally disabled patients. (You want to improve your ability to identify the correct diagnosis and/or prioritize the differential list). Feedback

(What is the time frame?) Feedback

Planned Activities: Consulting my preceptor and conducting research about the effective evidence-based practices for combining and integrating assessment findings and differential diagnosis to be used to identify and prioritize the issues presented by mental health patients (Goolsby & Grubbs, 2018). (You should be conducting comprehensive psych assessments and using that information to develop the diagnosis. You would first want to consider observing your preceptor then conducting one yourself etc….) Feedback

Mode of Assessment: An assessment of how well the findings were utilized to list the possible diagnoses and narrow down to the proper diagnosis of a patient’s disorder is the mode of assessment for this objective (Goolsby & Grubbs, 2018). (Again, the Mode of Assessment is how you will document and provide evidence you met your goal. Where would you do that? How?) Feedback
