What action does the Nurse Coach take with findings from evaluation?

• A. Uses findings to stop coaching.
• B. Partners with client to use findings from the evaluation process to reassess client's needs, preferred strategies, goals, and expected outcomes.
• C. Document evaluation only for the file.
• D. Dismiss evaluation findings.

Answer: (B)

The action being tested is using evaluation findings in a collaborative way to adapt the coaching plan with the client. After gathering evaluation data, the Nurse Coach works with the client to interpret what the results mean in terms of needs, progress, and remaining gaps. Together they reassess which needs are still priorities, which strategies are working or not feasible, and how goals and expected outcomes should be revised. This ongoing, client-centered dialogue keeps the plan aligned with the client’s preferences, real-life context, and achievable milestones, helping sustain motivation and drive meaningful progress.

Stopping coaching when findings are available would halt momentum and ignore useful information. Documenting findings only for the file fails to apply the data to the client’s plan, and dismissing the findings overlooks opportunities to improve care and outcomes.
