Which of the following is included as an ANA standard for Nurse Coaching?

• A. Billing and Scheduling
• B. Ethics
• C. Marketing
• D. Transportation

Answer: (B)

Ethics guides how a nurse coach conducts practice, balancing respect for client autonomy with professional responsibilities. The ANA standards emphasize maintaining confidentiality, obtaining informed consent, establishing clear professional boundaries, and delivering care that is safe, culturally sensitive, and free from exploitation or bias. This ethical framework underpins trust, protects clients’ rights, and ensures accountability in the coaching relationship, which is essential in any nursing-focused coaching role.

Administrative tasks like billing and scheduling, marketing, or transportation are important to running a practice, but they are not the standards that define nurse coaching practice.
