A nurse is assisting with preparing an educational session at a community health center about the social determinants of health (SDOH). Which of the following information should the nurse include?

Choice A rationale:

During the orientation phase, the nurse and patient get to know each other and establish a plan of care, making this the correct choice.

Choice B rationale:

Identifying the patient’s coping mechanisms is typically part of the working phase, not the orientation phase.

Choice C rationale:

Determining if the patient has been helped is part of the termination phase, not the orientation phase.

Choice D rationale:

Asking the patient for the name they prefer could be done at any time, but it is not a specific action taken during the orientation phase.

Choice A rationale:

An informal spoiler typically indulges their grandchildren with treats and fun, often in a way that may spoil them. This doesn’t fit the scenario described.

Choice B rationale:

A surrogate grandparent steps in to fulfill the parental role when the parents are unavailable or unable to do so. In this case, the grandparent is helping with food preparation due to the parents’ limited time, which aligns with the surrogate role.

Choice C rationale:

A wisdom provider shares life experiences and lessons, but this isn’t mentioned in the scenario.

Choice D rationale:

A formal grandparent adheres to traditional expectations and rules, which isn’t reflected in the scenario.
