Practicum Experience Plan
In my advanced nursing practice, know-how and experience of psychiatric assessment
and diagnosing are pertinent for effective service delivery (Kelly & Lazenby, 2019). I intend to
gain practical and firsthand experience in my practicum to foster my grasp of these vital
components for the ultimate application in my future practice. Practicum experience will offer

et al., 2021). A critical factor in completing the mental assessment will include assessing the
patients’ short and long-term memory and a follow-up on their medical history to guide my
further actions. The effectiveness of these objectives will be determined by my interpretation of
the signs and patients’ responses and synthesizing them in the ultimate diagnosis.

second objective in the practicum experience. This will include establishing the patients' mental

(Champlin et al., 2021). Proficiency in distinguishing these physical conditions and the
psychological aspects of the diseases will guide my ultimate diagnosis, and the treatment
