During the termination phase of the nurse-client relationship, the focus is on evaluating the client's progress and ensuring they can apply what they have learned independently. Asking the client to demonstrate learned coping skills without direction from the nurse helps assess their ability to manage behaviors and emotions on their own, which is crucial for long-term management of ADHD and temper tantrums. Choices A, B, and C are more appropriate for earlier stages of the relationship.
