Anurse provides smoking-cessation education to a client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd). the nurse concludes that the client is ready to quit smoking when the client makes which statement?

"I'll cut back to a half pack a day."

Explanation:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a spectrum of diseases that includes chronic bronchitis (narrowing of the airways and paralysis of cilia activity) and emphysema (irreversible damage to the alveoli). Cigarettes are responsible for the vast majority of cases, so nurses and other health professionals should encourage patients to stop smoking to prevent this disease. However, quitting smoking is not an easy task, so a patient who seeks to at least reduce the amount of cigarettes he consumes each day shows that he understands the severity of the disease and is a very important step for his health.
