Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Action: At this stage, the employee is practicing the new behavior; however, it is not yet incorporated into his or her lifestyle. The new behavior requires lots of effort, which leaves the employee at risk for relapsing to the old behavior. The employee needs support, incentives, and sincere encouragement. Maintenance: The new behavior is ingrained in the lifestyle behaviors. A crisis or major stressor at work or personal life can become the impetus to revert to the previous behavior. The employee needs reinforcement, support, and opportunities to practice the new behavior. The employee benefits by sharing the newly learned behavior.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
A feasibility or business plan approach to communicating your program is used to establish a common language and understanding of the project by everyone in the organization. A sample business plan might include the following: Executive summary: A short summary of the health promotion plan, which includes the purpose, methods, expected benefits, and costs. Methods: How, when, and where the plan will be put into action. Expected benefits: A list of the outcomes for the program. Costs: An accurate projection of program costs.
