Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

This response reflects the action stage when the person actively implements behavioral and cognitive strategies to interrupt previous behavior patterns and adopt new ones. This stage may need to continue for several weeks or months. The preparation stage occurs when the person undertakes cognitive and behavioral activities that prepare the person for change and may have already changed some small aspect of the behavior. Contemplation is when the patient seriously considers changing a specific behavior, actively gathers information, and verbalizes plans to make the change in the near future. In precontemplation the patient neither thinks about changing behavior nor is interested in information about the behavior.
