a. Preparation
Explanation:
The Stages of Change Model focuses on the decision-making of a person and is a model of intentional change. In other words, it is used when the person actively makes the decision of making a change.
The stages of this model are:
- Precontemplation: People do not intend to take action in the foreseeable future (within the next 6 months). They don't even realize that their behavior is problematic.
- Contemplation: People are intending to start the healthy behavior in the foreseeable future (within the next 6 months). They start to recognize that their behavior is problematic but still feel ambivalent towards changing it.
- Preparation: People are ready to take action within the <u>next 30 days. </u>They start <u>taking small steps toward the change</u> and think this can lead to a healthier life.
- Action: People have recently changed their behavior (within the last 6 months) and intend to keep moving forward with it. They now have healthier habits.
- Maintenance: People have sustained their behavior change for over 6 months and they are working to prevent relapses.
- Termination: People have no desire to return to their unhealthy behaviors and they know they won't relapse.
In this example, your client exercises occasionally and plans to regularly participate in a structured exercise program next month. We can see that this client <u>is taking small steps toward change (exercising regularly) and plan to start a more regular exercise plan next month (the next 30 days).</u> Therefore, this clients is in the stage of preparation.
They wanted strong states, weak national government, direct elections, shorter terms, and rule by the common man. Others thought the Constitution gave too much power to the central government and feared it did not protect the rights of the citizens.
Granting titles of nobility is denied to both national and state government. Providing for and supervise schools, establish post offices, and impose duties on imports and exports are proposals or projects that both the national and state government can approve and implement.
