• B. Six.
• C. Seven.
• D. Five.

Answer: (B)

The Nurse Coach Process is a six-component framework that guides practice from building trust to reviewing outcomes. It begins with relationship-building to establish safety and collaboration. Next comes discovery and assessment to understand the client’s story, strengths, barriers, and context. Then both coach and client set meaningful, patient-centered goals. After goals are set, a care plan is designed outlining steps, responsibilities, and timelines. The plan is put into action through implementation and ongoing monitoring, adjusting as needed. Finally, outcomes are evaluated to determine effectiveness, celebrate progress, and decide on next steps or termination. This six-part structure ensures the process covers relationship, exploration, planning, action, and evaluation in a way that supports holistic, person-centered care.
