this is in correspondence with the goals and objective of the previous work. the one you did,

Summary of strengths:

Psychiatric examination and therapy have been my clinical basis. I am confident in detecting clinical signs, differentiating pathophysiological and psychopathological problems, and performing thorough examinations. My mental state tests, psychosocial data interpretation, and functional evaluations demonstrate my comprehensive patient evaluation skills. I also excel in diagnostic reasoning, accurate diagnosis, and patient-responsive pharmacotherapy. Professional integrity, interdisciplinary teamwork, and empathy and non-judgment demonstrate my patient-centered care. Self-assessment and goal-setting help me grow via reflective practice. With my skills in these areas, I'm ready to improve and seize development possibilities.

Opportunities for growth:

I see places where I can improve my clinical skills as I reflect. While confident in many areas, I want to improve my capacity to distinguish normal and atypical age-related physiological and psychological symptoms to better comprehend patient presentations. I also see an opportunity to improve my selection of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for psychotherapy planning and precision intervention. Another focus is creating age-appropriate customized care plans based on screening instrument results to improve my ability to give focused and effective treatments. I can recognize complex needs and build therapies that connect with patients' particular situations by strengthening these abilities. I want to improve my mental consultation suggestion and referral documentation. This will help multidisciplinary teams communicate and provide comprehensive patient care. My desire to enhance these areas drives my dedication to progress, helping me to confidently confront complicated mental health practice difficulties. Taking advantage of these changes will improve my skills and help me give excellent care to people and their families.

Now, write three to four (3–4) possible goals and objectives for this practicum experience. Ensure that they follow the SMART Strategy, as described in the Learning Resources.

1.

Goal: Enhance Diagnostic Reasoning Skills

a.
Objective: Refresh your DSM-5 criteria for common psychiatric diseases.

b.
Objective: Discuss differential diagnosis with preceptor regularly to emphasize various patient situations.

c.

b.
Objective: Work with preceptor to choose psychotherapy methods for different patient circumstances, following professional criteria.

c.
Objective: Confidently use age-appropriate psychotherapy counseling methods and adjust them to patient reactions.

3.
Goal: Optimize Screening Instruments and Referrals

a.
Objective: Research and comprehend mental health screening tools throughout the lifetime.

b.

A nurse at the local Senior Center made the following notation about a client: A 74-year-old female client wearing eyeglasses with bifocal lenses and hearing aid in her left ear. Walks with a shuffling gait, using a cane for support. Wearing house slippers and housedress. States, “My other doctor says I should have my eyes looked at by an expert. It’s been a while, and my eyes seem to be acting up lately. I can’t see so good anymore.” The client states that she takes medication for “sugar” and her blood pressure and has worn glasses for years with the last prescription changed about 3 years ago. “I was a seamstress for many years and quit when I couldn’t see to thread the needles anymore-just in time too. These new materials are too hard to work with!” Denies using any eye drops. Describes vision changes as difficulty seeing well at night, especially if trying to read. Uses a magnifying glass to help when reading. No eye pain or discharge, although eyes sometimes feel “dry and scratchy,” with the left eye being worse than the right. Admits to rubbing eyes but without relief.

Develop a Plan of Care for this patient that includes:

  • 2 Nursing Diagnosis
  • 2 goals for each Nursing Diagnosis
  • Interventions with rationales
