ANS: B v
The patient is in the first phase of Lewin’s Change Theory, known as unfreezing. This phase
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
involves determining that a change needs to occur and deciding to take action. Moving is the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
second phase and involves actively planning changes and taking action on them. Refreezing is the

v v v v v v v v v v v v
planning and action. Moving also means you are dealing with both positive and negative forces
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v
as they ebb and flow, and you are making modifications to your plan as needed.
