NRNP PRAC 6635 Week 7: Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation and Patient Case Presentation

What do I have to do? When do I have to do it?

Review your Learning Resources. Days 1–7

Assignment 1: Clinical Hour and Patient Logs Record your clinical hours and patient encounters in Meditrek.

Assignment 2: Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation and Patient Case Presentation Submit by Day 7.

At your practicum site, you have been strengthening your communication, diagnostic, procedural, and treatment planning skills. This week, you highlight these skills as you present a complete case in a video, just as you did in Week 5. You also continue to track your clinical time and patients in Meditrek.

Your readings this week reinforce your knowledge about assessment and diagnosis of psychotic and medication-induced movement disorders. As you think about the patients in your clinical setting who may have a psychotic or medication-induced movement disorder, consider the strategies you would use to facilitate the treatment and management process while providing patient education and support.
