Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The patient should try an 18-hour patch to help with sleep. Nicotrol is not a good option for patients with asthma.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Patients exhibit readiness when they state a desire to quit along with a request for professional assistance. Other factors, such as children or co-workers, do not indicate a desire to quit.
