Which of the following is the most appropriate nursing intervention for a client who is seen at the clinic for increasing shortness of breath but who is not interested in quiing smoking?

a. Accept the client's decision and do not intervene until the client expresses a desire to quit.

b. Realize that some smokers will never quit and that trying to assist them only increases the client's and the nurse's frustration.

c. Increase the client's motivation to quit by explaining that continued smoking will only increase the breathing problems.

d. Ask the client at every clinic visit to identify the relevance, the risks, the benefits of quiing, and the barriers to quiing.
