Answer to Question 1

A
I started to exercise regularly, but it didn't last long. I'll probably try again in a few weeks is the preparation stage. I have a problem, and I really think I need to work on it is the contemplation stage. I am really working hard to stop smoking is the action stage. There is nothing that I really need to change is the precontemplation stage.

Answer to Question 2

D
Determining a patient's level of knowledge is the first step. Assess the patient's level of knowledge, intellectual skills, and literacy level before beginning a teaching plan. The first step is not to motivate a patient. A patient's motivation to learn is an important factor; however, a patient's motivation helps to determine if the patient is prepared and willing to learn, not what needs to be taught. Health education is not focused on disease prevention as a primary goal, but on assisting patients to achieve optimal levels of health. Although the entire health care team may be involved with patient education, the educator must select the appropriate teaching strategy for the patient's ability to learn.
