Answer to Question 1

A
Patients are more open to developing an exercise program if they are at the stage of readiness to change their behavior.

Answer to Question 2

D
The Joint Commission has set guidelines for the use of restraints. These regulations set the standard that all patients have the right to be free from seclusion and physical or chemical restraints except to ensure the patient's safety in emergency situations. The standards specifically prohibit restraining patients for staff convenience, punishment, or retaliation.
