Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The patient's statement indicates that he is not considering smoking cessation. Ineffective Health Maintenance is defined as the inability to identify, manage, and/or seek out help to maintain health.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Including a patient's favorite foods will most likely increase compliance, because the patient is not being deprived. Checking the sodium will be useful for teaching strategies but will not be the most effective means of increasing adherence.
