Answer: (B)

Planning and delivering Nurse Coaching services requires considering safety, effectiveness, cost, and the impact on practice. Safety ensures the coaching activities protect patients from harm, maintain privacy, obtain informed consent, and adhere to clinical standards. Effectiveness focuses on using evidence-based coaching strategies and aiming for real, measurable improvements in health behaviors and outcomes. Cost considerations involve evaluating resources, affordability for patients, and the sustainability of the coaching model within the healthcare setting. Impact on practice means looking at how the coaching fits into workflows, team collaboration, documentation, and regulatory compliance, ensuring it strengthens the overall care delivery. Other factors like cosmetic details or personal convenience don’t guide quality care and should not drive planning.
