Questions: Question 14 2 Points At which stage of change is a client least likely to benefit from the assessment process? (A) Precontemplation (B) Maintenance (C) Contemplation (D) Preparation

The answer is (A) Precontemplation.

In the precontemplation stage, individuals are not yet considering change and may not recognize that they have a problem. They are often resistant to change and may not see the relevance of an assessment process, making it the stage where they are least likely to benefit from it.

In the maintenance stage, individuals have already made changes and are working to sustain them. While they may benefit from assessments to prevent relapse, they are generally more stable in their change process compared to the precontemplation stage.

In the contemplation stage, individuals are aware of the need for change and are considering it. They are more open to assessments as they weigh the pros and cons of changing their behavior.

In the preparation stage, individuals are planning to take action soon and are more likely to benefit from assessments that can help them strategize and set goals for change.
