Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

This response reflects contemplation, when the patient seriously considers changing a specific behavior, actively gathers information, and verbalizes plans to make the change in the near future. In precontemplation the patient neither thinks about changing behavior nor is interested in information about the behavior. The preparation stage occurs when the person undertakes cognitive and behavioral activities that prepare the person for change. The action stage occurs when the person actively implements behavioral and cognitive strategies to interrupt previous behavior patterns and adopt new ones.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Whereas all of these roles are inherent in health-promotion work, the nurse's primary role is as facilitator of the process. The nurse works with the client, not for the client, and not as director of the client's health.
