Answer
The correct chronological sequence follows the '5 R's' model: determining Relevance, identifying Risks, recognizing Rewards, exploring Roadblocks, and utilizing Repetition.
The '5 R's' model is an evidence-based intervention designed to motivate clients who are unwilling to quit smoking at the current time. The correct sequence begins by establishing personal Relevance to build therapeutic rapport. Next, the nurse explores the Risks of continued smoking, followed immediately by the Rewards of quitting, which balances the negative and positive aspects of behavior change. The nurse then helps identify Roadblocks (barriers) to success. Finally, Repetition ensures the intervention is consistently applied during future interactions to capture any changes in the client's readiness.
