The nurse case manager has agreed to become a coach for a client with ADHD. Responsibilities of
the coach should include
a. reminding the client of priorities and deadlines.
b. teaching work-related skills such as basic math.
c. establishing penalties for failure to organize tasks.
d. giving encouragement and strategies for managing and organizing.
D
The coach's major responsibilities lie with encouraging the client to learn and use necessary skills,
assisting the client to stay on task. The coach is not an ever-present taskmaster or penalizer,
however. Neither does the coach teach work-related skills. That task would be assumed by
vocational staff.
