Explanatory Answer

2 is the best opening statement. 3 elaborates on the idea in 2 of patients “having control” over their lives. So, 3 follows 2. Statement 1 defines the term ‘self-management’ mentioned in 3; so, 1 follows 3. 4 expands on an idea related to self-management, ‘self-management support’. So, the right sequence is 2314.

2314 is the correct answer.
