Practice question · Select all that apply
Select every statement that is TRUE about chronic illness and quality of life.
Hints
- Two options flatten what chronic illness and HRQoL actually involve.
- HRQoL is subjective, not an objective score, and chronic illness places distinctive ongoing demands on a life.
Show the answer
- B. Biographical disruption unsettles taken-for-granted assumptions about one's life.
- C. Adapting involves identity and role changes, not just symptom control.
- D. HRQoL is subjective and multidimensional.
Why
HRQoL's subjectivity, biographical disruption, and identity/role adaptation are all true. HRQoL is not an objective severity score, and chronic illness differs from acute illness in the ongoing life demands it creates - so those two are false.
