1. A Motivational Interview with Butch Sampson

2. You are the nurse listening to Butch. How would you respond to the following passages taken from his monologue using a motivational interview approach?

3. Course, Ive tried a couple of those places the VA is always trying to set up for me, but I either get the boot or just leave... There s no freedom in a place like that they tell you when and where you can smoke and you can t even have a beer. The feeling of freedom I guess that s what keeps me moving around.

4. Anyway seems like some of that Agent Orange stuff they used to spray on the jungle causes diabetes and some bad cancers and stuff. Probably why my toes came off although that really bad cold spell last winter didn t help any

5. Had to cut a piece out of my boot so I could still get it on. Hated to do that I need these boots. I can probably wrap a plastic bag around if I need to. Don t know where I ll get more socks.

6. Listen, you dont need to tell anybody about that. I don t want anyone to think I can t take care of things myself. I get by just fine and don t need any do-gooders poking around in my business.

7. NOW How would you start a conversation with Butch about health teaching around his diabetes using this approach?

8. AND How would you start a conversation with Butch about his living situation using this approach?
