Using FRAMES as a guideline,the nurse would provide Feedback about problems with using drugs,emphasize the person's own personal Responsibility for any changes made,and give Advice on how to change behaviors,including a Menu of options from which to choose while expressing Empathy.Finally,the nurse would provide encouragement and belief that the person can change,hence increasing feelings of Self-efficacy.Having the client's family members tell the father that they understand his behavior does not encourage him to realize the need for change.Threatening a future possibility of prison would not provide encouragement to the father and may even challenge him to continue his behavior.
