Answer to Question 1

D
These stages range from no intention to change (precontemplation), to considering a change within the next 6 months (contemplation), to making small changes (preparation), to actively engaging in strategies to change behavior (action), to maintaining a changed behavior (maintenance). Because she has been smoke free for 2 years, she is in the maintenance stage.
