Answer:
The answer is letter b, “Reiterate the long-term benefits of adherence.”
Explanation:
<em>Incorporating Physical Activity</em><em> </em>– This means increasing the amount of physical activity that you do every day. Some ways of increasing physical activity are as follows:
Walk to your office instead of driving a car.
Doing some stretches in the morning and in the evening.
<em>Behavior Change</em> – This is the process that a person experiences in order to change his behavior for the better. It consists of 6 stages namely:
1. Pre-contemplation stage –This is the stage of denial. The person doesn’t see any reason why he needs to change.
2. Contemplation stage- The person acknowledges his behavioral problem and tries to weigh the pros and cons of changing.
3. Preparation stage- The person now understands how beneficial change is. He starts planning to start acting.
4. Action stage- This is the time they modify their behavior. For example, the person who used to consume a lot of alcohol, stops drinking.
5. Maintenance stage- The person can now overcome his former behavior but still needs to be careful of temptations in order to avoid relapse.
6. Relapse- It is common for a person to fall back to the patterns of old behavior.
As stated above, the client has already been working on incorporating physical activity into his daily life (this is the <em>action stage</em>). Then, he was able to make it to the <em>maintenance stage</em>. It is important to tell him to <u>stick to his good behavior change and remind him over again about its benefits,</u> for he might fall into relapse. So, the best strategy in this case is letter b.
