Cevap
The correct sequence is: Query about tobacco use, deliver a personalized message urging to quit, determine readiness to quit, recommend strategies/pharmacotherapy, and schedule follow-up.
The 5 A's model is a well-validated, evidence-based framework for smoking cessation counseling. The correct chronological sequence is: Ask (systematically identify tobacco users), Advise (strongly urge all users to quit), Assess (determine willingness to make a quit attempt), Assist (aid the patient in quitting via counseling/medication), and Arrange (schedule follow-up contact).
