During the contemplation stage of change, what is a client's behavior towards changing?

  1. Fully committed to changing

  2. Ambivalent and unpredictable

  3. Completely resistant

  4. Actively change behaviors

The correct answer is: Ambivalent and unpredictable

During the contemplation stage of change, a client is typically considering the possibility of changing their behavior, but they may feel uncertain or unsure about actually making the change. This ambivalence can lead to unpredictability, as they may exhibit mixed feelings and behaviors towards change. Option A is incorrect because clients in the contemplation stage are not yet fully committed to changing. Option C is incorrect because while a client may have some resistance to change in the contemplation stage, they are not completely resistant. Option D is incorrect because actively changing behaviors is more characteristic of the action stage of change, not the contemplation stage.
