Theory? a.

ne CORRECT ANSWER:- n e




n e B
Rationale :->>> The client is in the first phase of Lewin‘s Change Theory, known as
ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne


unfreezing. This phase involves determining that a change needs to occur and deciding
ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne


to take action. Moving is the second phase and
ne ne ne ne involves actively planning changes and ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne


taking action on them. Refreezing is the last stage, and it occurs when the change
ne ne n e n e n e ne n e n e ne n e ne n e n e n e ne


has become apart of the person‘s life.

ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne



negative forcesas they ebb and flow, and you are makingmodifications to your plan as needed.
ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne ne


Refreezing occurs after the change has become routine.
