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

Review your Learning Resources. Days 1–7

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

Your weekly practicum Learning Resources mirror those content areas in the pre- or co-requisite companion course, NRNP 6635. Thus, this week, the Learning Resources support your knowledge of the assessment and diagnosis of anxiety disorders, PTSD, and OCD. It is recognized that at your site, you likely are seeing patients with a variety of disorders. Consult your course texts, as needed, to support the experiences you are encountering at your site. If you encountered a patient at your practicum site with an anxiety disorder, consider what patient factors and behaviors you think might impact the disorder. Also, consider steps you might take to mitigate the risk of misdiagnosing an anxiety disorder. As you progress in your clinical practicum, you continue to use Meditrek to record your time and patient encounters, thoughtfully considering the skills you are gaining.
