Answer to Question 1

A
Since the patient is now demonstrating positive behavioral changes and is compliant with the treatment plan, it would be reasonable to expect this change in behavior to continue and facilitate continued compliance. The remaining options lack tangible proof that the patient has experienced any true change in behavior that would facilitate compliance now or in the future since they lack positive action.

Answer to Question 2

C
