Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

Generally speaking, theory testing uses a deductive approach and applies quantitative research methods. Theory generation uses an inductive approach and is the result of qualitative research. Inductive approach using quantitative research methods and deductive approach using qualitative research methods are not as commonly used in theory generation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 5, 6, 1, 4, 3

In the first stage of precontemplation (1) the nurse raises the client's awareness of healthy behaviors. In the contemplation stage (2) the nurse helps the client further clarify his or her values in relation to the health behavior. In the preparation stage (3) the nurse helps the client identify stimuli that trigger unhealthy behavior and consider ways to remove or minimize those stimuli. In the action stage (4) the nurse helps the client set realistic goals. In the maintenance stage (5) the nurse identifies and encourages strategies that support healthy behavior. In the termination stage (6) the nurse should review the role of relapse as an opportunity to try again.
