A Clinical Skills Self-Assessment in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing is a tool used by psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) to evaluate their competency in providing patient care. This assessment can help PMHNPs identify areas for improvement, track their progress, and ensure they maintain the necessary skills to provide quality care to their patients. It may include Assessments of their knowledge, communication skills, physical examination skills, diagnostic reasoning, and treatment planning abilities. The goal of a Clinical Skills Self-Assessment is to support the ongoing professional development of PMHNPs and promote patient safety.
