Objective 3: <I need to improve my knowledge of using screening tools results to develop care plans for patients of all ages by the end of the practicum.> After gaining knowledge on how to use screening tools when diagnosing my patients, I need to develop knowledge in using the results from the instruments to develop care plans for patients.
Planned Activities: One of the activities I plan to do to achieve this objective is to learn more about mental health disorders through the DSM-5 manual. The manual has highlighted the signs and symptoms of almost all mental health problems. If I know the signs and symptoms of mental health disorders, I will easily identify mental health problems from the screening tool results and develop a proper care plan.
Mode of Assessment: This objective will be assessed through class discussion and assignments and by my supervisor.
