At a visit last month, your pt committed to quit smoking. When you call to see how he is doing 4 weeks later, he admits that he has had two relapses, but then "recommitted" to stop smoking each timE. He asks if you have any tips to help him avoid theses relapses. Which suggestion is not a recommended relapse prevention strategy?
A. Be aware of risky behavior or situations that may lead to a relapse and try to avoid them
B. Have a plan to combat negative thoughts or temptations
C. Employ stress mgmt techniques, such as cognitive reframing, turning to a support person, or others that the pt has used to help manage stress
D. Acknowledge and repeat the mantra that the bad behavior is gone and will not come back (ie "I am not a smoker; I do not want or need to smoke)
