Answer to Question 1

A
Precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance are the five phases of change. Postmaintenance, procrastination, and engagement are not included in the five stages of change.

Answer to Question 2

C
An acute asthma attack is a disruption in oxygen and must be addressed first. According to Maslow, meet the patient's physiological needs such as oxygen, food, water, sleep, and elimination first. After meeting the physiological needs, meet the patient's higher-level needs of safety, security, belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. A postoperative patient, a stroke, and a fractured hip are not as important as an acute asthma attack.
