Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Precontemplation: In this stage, the employee is not even thinking about changing his or her behavior. The goal is to make the person aware of the benefits of change and to get him or her to start thinking about the possibility of change.
Contemplation: In this stage, the employee is at least considering making an effort to change his or her behavior. The employee is weighing the pros and the cons. The employee may not know how to change and may consider the change to be almost impossible. The attempt to change is not worth the effort if failure is to occur. The goal is to help the employee identify the benefits and to decide that putting forth an effort to change is worthwhile.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Preparation: A person at this stage has decided to try to change a behavior(s). This employee desires help in making the change and is ready for information and skills to maintain the behavioral change.
