A)When providing education regarding smoking cessation, it is important for the nurse to include adaptive coping mechanisms for the client to use during times of stress. Expressing the intention to use a healthy coping mechanism-such as chewing sugar-free gum-when the urge to smoke arises indicates appropriate understanding of the information presented. Tapering off smoking and keeping cigarettes close by are examples of behaviors that indicate the client is not wholly committed to cessation. Eating when stressed may lead the client to substitute eating for smoking, which is a form of denial.
