Practicum Experience Plan

The goal of this paper is to choose one nursing theory and one counseling theory to help guide my own performance. Each theory will be explained, as well as why it was chosen. There will be three distinct objectives and objectives for each objective directly related to this study. Based on the course requirements, a timetable for practice activities will be created. The following objectives will be discussed: the first objective is to provide participants with the knowledge and skills needed to diagnose mental illness at the end of the program; the second objective is to discover the level of skills required to provide a range of Psychotherapy treatments for psychiatric patients of various ages; and the third objective is to accurately assess a patient’s response to the care provided and to use the information to make decisions about how to transform care.

Part 2: Individualized Practicum Learning Objectives

Objective 1: To equip participants with the skills necessary to conduct mental illness screenings.

Planned Activities: To construct at least ten treatment plans for psychotic patients based on the screening data gathered from those individuals Gouttebarge et al., (2021).

Mode of Assessment: The mode of assessment for the objective is focused assessment that provides details to specific body system associated with problems of a patient.

PRAC Course Outcome(s) Addressed:

· Perform the interpretation of the results of at least ten Psychiatric screenings every week.

· To collaborate with the instructors and other healthcare professionals at the internship site to interpret and put into action treatment programs for psychotic patients while they are enrolled in the internship program

Objective 2: To achieve the level of competence required to provide a variety of Psychotherapy therapies to psychotic patients of varying ages Langegård et al., (2021).

Planned Activities: I will consult other clinician on the appropriate evidence-based practices that are supposed to be implemented in a workplace and search and evaluate the available practices and implement the chosen practices.

Mode of Assessment: The mode of assessment for this objective is through an observation of what evidence-based practices are applied and how they are used.

PRAC Course Outcome(s) Addressed:

· Develop a list of appropriate evidence-based practices

· Incorporate DSM V in clinical care

· Use evidence-based practices in improving care

Objective 3: To accurately evaluate the response of a patient towards care provided and use the information to make decision on how to modify the care.

Planned Activities: I will monitor patients under care, conduct interview on the patients to understand their views on the care and develop appropriate care plan based on the information

Mode of Assessment: The assessment mode for this objective is through observation and use of DSM V and other resources provided.

PRAC Course Outcome(s) Addressed:

· Develop plans that improves patients’ care

· Analyze the patients views to come up with adequate information of care programs

· Accurate modify care for specific patients

Nursing Theory

The theory of deliberate nursing developed by Ida Jean Orlando will be discussed. This viewpoint is like the idea advanced by Younas and Quennell that the nurse’s education and patient information transform patients’ perceptions of their personal information (2019). This should consider potential options that would allow the patient to have his or her own opinion and description of the condition. This also necessitates the nurse being open-minded and listening to the patient’s feelings and needs before deciding on the type of care required and how it should be delivered. This theory was chosen because it will be critical for me to keep this in mind as a PMHNP before taking on more of what I believe a patient requires and can benefit from. As a result, it is critical to allow the patient to provide detailed information about himself, his history, and his treatment objectives.

Counseling Theory

Counseling theory will be discussed and applied to help direct personal practice interpersonal psychotherapy. In this study, this type of treatment focuses on the most important and effective human relationships, whereas group therapy focuses on the issues that exist between relationships, leading to problems, Singh and colleagues (2020). The primary goal of interpersonal therapy is to work on repairing broken relationships and identifying and correcting harmful behaviors. This can be used in individual or group therapy, but it is applied in a self-centered manner that allows people to deal with their own personal behaviors that harm their relationships. This can aid in the development of self-awareness and prevent people from automatically accusing others. To make the necessary life changes, the patient must be able to accept his or her behavior. It takes a straightforward approach that can help hold each individual accountable for his or her actions and ensure that the patient makes consistent progress in his or her treatment course.

Conclusion

Ida Jean Orlando’s theory of deliberate nursing procedure was chosen and discussed as a nursing theory. This concept is important to use as a PMHNP because it emphasizes the importance of listening to the patient’s needs and perspective before making comments and interpretations about how care should be delivered Steeb et al., (2021). The theory of interpersonal psychotherapy, which focuses on interpersonal relationships, was chosen and discussed as the counseling theory. This is especially true for this study on group and family therapy. It enables patients to assess their own behavior and determine how dangerous they can be in their relationships. The study’s objectives and objectives, as well as the timeline, have been identified to help guide me in a constructive and beneficial manner.
