1. Changing lifelong unhealthy habits can have a positive effect on health for older adults. 2. The Transtheoretical Model of behavior change proposes people move through a series of five stages and use a variety of processes as they attempt to change a behavior. 3.

Specific stage-based strategies are recommended for nurses to use with both individuals and groups of older adults.
