Answer to Question 1

A, B, D

Answer to Question 2

B
During the third stage of change (preparation) the patient has made a decision to change and is assessing how that decision feels. Patients can be helped to select realistic treatment goals and different ways to reach those goals. They need to be actively involved in designing their own strategies for change.
