The statement 'Confirm that you have the zone covered and signal for the outgoing lifeguard to climb down from the stand' demonstrates which feedback approach?

• A. Prompting
• B. Coaching
• C. Direct Correction
• D. Praise

Answer: (B)

Coaching is real-time, collaborative guidance during a task to improve performance. The statement asks you to confirm zone coverage and coordinate the handoff by signaling the outgoing lifeguard to climb down, which shows guiding the action while it’s happening, checking readiness, and planning the next step. It supports learning through practice and adjustment rather than just correcting a mistake after the fact (direct correction) or simply giving praise or a one-time cue without context (praise or prompting).
