Answer to Question 1

C
Building adequate incentives to change is critical to translating insight into action. The nurse should help the patient see the consequences of each action and help the patient understand that old patterns do more harm than good. The patient will not learn new patterns until the motivation to acquire them is greater than the motivation to retain the old ones.
