Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
During contemplation, the individual is aware that a problem exists and is seriously thinking about overcoming it but has not yet made a commitment to take action. The nurse can encourage the individual to weigh the pros and cons of the problem and the solution to the problem. In precontemplation, the person does not intend to change in the foreseeable future. In the prepara-tion phase, the individual is prepared for action and may reduce the problem behavior but has not yet taken effective action. In the action stage, the individual modifies the behavior, experiences, or environment to overcome the problem.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
An individual with a high body weight would likely have the lowest blood alcohol concentration. Increased alcohol concentration, drinking without consuming food, and being a female are all factors that increase blood alcohol concentration.
