The nurse is leading a group on the inpatient psychiatric unit. Which approach should the nurse use during the working phase of group development?

A. Helping clients identify areas of problem in their lives is more characteristic of the orientation phase of group development, where the group establishes trust and defines the purpose and goals. B. Discussing ways to use new coping skills learned is appropriate during the working phase. This phase focuses on problem-solving, decision-making, and achieving the goals identified in the orientation phase. C. Establishing a rapport with group members is crucial during the orientation phase to build trust and create a safe environment for group members to share their experiences. D. Clarifying the nurse’s role and clients’ responsibilities is more relevant in the orientation phase as the group establishes structure and guidelines.
