Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Determinations regarding quality of life are value judgments. This means that they are judgments based on what individuals believe is desirable. Beliefs about what people find desirable vary from person to person.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Quality of life (QOL) is often at the center of ethical dilemmas, including futile care and DNR discussions, and has been reshaped in the United States. The national effort to better respect the abilities of the disabled has forced Americans to reconsider the definition of QOL. Health care disparities, an aging population, and health care reform are components impacted by personal definitions of quality but are not the underlying reason why QOL discussions have arisen in the United States.
