of this recording.

While viewing, reflect on what you have learned about
tobacco use and the role that nurses and other interdisciplinary team members
play in helping to assist tobacco users with quitting. While viewing, it is
also important to keep in mind that tobacco users move through stages of change
in the process of quitting. They move from pre-contemplation to contemplation,
contemplation to preparation; preparation to abstinence; abstinence to
maintenance. Every stage requires a different strategy by a nurse.

After watching the video, and reflecting on the information
presented, address each of the following questions.

What are the common symptoms associated with an exacerbation
of COPD?

What assessment techniques will you use to assess Mary?

Identify smoking strategies that would be appropriate for
each of the encounters that Mary had with the nurse throughout the video that
could have been used to assist Mary in quitting smoking.

Find a resource in your community that could assist Mary.
Start by searching the Internet for your local health department’s website. What
services are available to Mary? Briefly describe the services that the state
quit line provides. Does it meet the 4 As? Is it accessible, acceptable,
affordable, or available for Mary?

What will you do to follow-up on Mary’s smoking cessation
process?
