Correct Answer: Precontemplation and preparation
Description: C. i..e Precontemplation and preparation- A chronic smoker is aware that a problem (of smoking) exists and he is seriously thinking (contemplating) about overcoming it but has not yet made a commitment to take an action (as he is reluctant). So the patient is in the contemplation stage of behavior change. He reached this stage b/o pros-cons /gain - loss/ benefit-cost analysis regarding his sickness susceptibility (not cost factor) i.e. chronic cough.- Miller and Rollnick's Motivational enhancement therapy (MET) using transtheoretical model of change for quitting problem behavior (habit) such as smoking alcoholism, drug addiction or eating disorder (anorexia) has 6 stages (wheel) of change (proposed by Prochaska and C. DiClementi)- pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and relapse prevention (termination).
