John is a 42-year-old male who was just diagnosed with pre-diabetes. He made an appointment with you, the nurse coach, to discuss weight loss. Utilizing the Motivational Interviewing guidelines, write a sample dialogue between the nurse and patient. Include how you would "contract" with the patient.
Just few examples would be great! Thanks
