ABSTRACT

This is a 67-year-old woman who has been smoking cigarettes since age 10, whose mother died from COPD and who has been told the risk factors by her doctor. She has tried to use nicotine patches, gums, and oral medication. Her primary care physician has referred her to the nurse health coach in the practice to help her stop smoking. At the very beginning of the book you were asked to review only the patient’s opening statements and then speculate on your choices of response, strategy, and why. Now that you have read about the updated model, here are the options this clinician chose. Time designations are located on the left side of the page and should correspond to the audio and video track you access via the link.
