A client with opioid dependence makes a statement to the nurse about desiring to lead a healthier lifestyle by making changes in the next 2 weeks. How should the nurse respond?

A) Providing teaching on the symptoms of substance use dependence may be relevant but may not directly address the client's readiness to make changes. B) Advising the client to reschedule may discourage the client's motivation for change and miss an opportunity to support readiness for change. C) Supporting the client to list small behavioral changes needed aligns with the stages of change model and encourages the client to begin setting achievable goals for change. D) Explaining specific relapse prevention skills may be premature without first assessing the client's readiness to make changes.
