4. Enabling the participant to set personal goals pertaining to MSPrI prevention, taking one's strengths and challenges into account
5. Facilitating problem solving with respect to daily dilemmas that heighten MSPrI risk
6. Encouraging practice of relevant prevention techniques (e.g. pressure redistribution, regular skin checks, pressure reliefs, and prompt response to a potentially emerging pressure injury)
7. Familiarizing the participant with information on MSPrI prevention and assuring they begin to apply it when relevant to their pressure injury risk
8. Utilizing motivational interviewing techniques to enable participants to be receptive to behavioral change35
