A) accept the patient's decision and not intervene until the patient expresses a desire to quit.
B) realize that some smokers will never quit, and trying to assist them increases the patient's' frustration.
C) motivate the patient to quit by describing how continued smoking will worsen the breathing problems.
D) ask the patient to identify the relevance, risks, and benefits of quitting and what barriers to quitting are present.
