Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:
The first stage is precontemplation in which the person does not perceive a health-related problem and has no intention of changing anytime soon. The second stage is contemplation and occurs when a problem behavior has been identified and the person is seriously thinking about changing it. In the third stage, preparation, the person has a strong intention to change and has made specific plans to do so. During the fourth stage, action, the person is engaging successfully in behavior change. In the fifth stage, maintenance, the healthy behavior has continued for at least six months and the person is using newly learned skills to prevent relapse.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
There are six major steps in a stress-coping program. The first step (assessment) involves identifying the sources and effects of the stress. The second step (goal setting) involves identifying which stressors are changeable and which are not and then setting goals appropriate to reducing the effects of the stressors. The third step (planning) requires coming up with a specific sequence of steps to take to reduce stress. The fourth step (action) involves actually implementing the steps that have been planned. The fifth step (evaluation) involves determining whether the program has produced results. The final step (adjustment) involves the alteration of the coping program, if necessary to achieve better results.
