Course Description

This course is designed to help nurse practitioner (NP) students synthesize their knowledge and clinical skills in order to provide care to patients with complex health conditions. Continuing from the lifespan approach, students in this final psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) course build on content and skills from previous courses to develop clinical competence necessary to treat patients across the lifespan in mental health settings. Students explore how to select assessment approaches for patients across the lifespan, formulate di?erential diagnoses, and apply diagnostic criteria, appropriate diagnostic testing, and diagnostic case formulation. The student will use both psychotherapeutic approaches and psychopharmacologic approaches to develop treatment plans for psychiatric mental health conditions. Classroom activities and case studies enable students to explore the salient nurse practitioner practice issues involved in the delivery of safe, competent, high-quality, and cost-effective care of patients in a dynamic healthcare system. Course assessments emphasize the application of knowledge in the management of patients and collaboration among the advanced practice nurse and the patient, family, and interprofessional healthcare team.
