During the Plan step, which activity is performed?

• A. Identify information specific to client needs and facilitate referrals
• B. Elicit a 3-generation family tree
• C. Provide current information
• D. Measure outcomes

Answer: (C)

During the Plan step, the emphasis is on communicating and clarifying the plan to the client, ensuring they have current, accurate information about what will be done, why it’s recommended, and what to expect. Providing current information helps the client understand the proposed interventions, anticipated outcomes, and any changes in care, which supports informed decisions and adherence as the plan progresses. Other activities are typically linked to data gathering, evaluation, or care coordination rather than the planning of the next steps: gathering a family history is part of assessment, measuring outcomes occurs during evaluation, and identifying specific needs plus arranging referrals relates to planning but is not the primary action described here.
