A client has entered a smoking cessation program to quit a two-pack-a-day cigarette habit. He tells the nurse that he has not smoked a cigarette for 3 weeks, but is afraid he is going to 'slip up' and smoke because of current job pressures. What would be the most appropriate reply for the nurse to make in response to the client's comments?

D It is good that you can talk about your concerns. Try calling a friend when you want to smoke.' C Try taking a couple of days of vacation to relieve the stress of your job.' B If you increase your self-control, I am sure you will be able to avoid smoking.' A Don't worry about it. Everybody has difficulty quitting smoking, and you should expect to as well.'
