Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Chronic, debilitating disease such as rheumatoid arthritis and severe illness can produce a broad range of emotional or behavioral responses in patients and their families. A short-term, self-limited illness that is not life threatening does not evoke emotions or actions that cause fundamental changes in daily lifestyle. More often, illnesses such as the flu, ear infections, and sore throats are viewed as minor irritations or inconveniences. They usually require a short-term adjustment in daily routines, and treatment of symptoms is the priority so that the individual can continue with normal activities. The emotional and behavioral changes associated with non-life-threatening illness are usually minimal, and the individual quickly returns to the previous baseline level of emotional functioning.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Self-concept refers to the way in which individuals perceive unchanging aspects of themselves, such as social character, cognitive abilities, physical appearance, and body image. It is a mental image of self in relation to others and the surroundings. If the image is positive, the person will develop strengths, compensate for weaknesses, and experience life in a healthy way. If the image is negative (e.g., frail), the person will find life's challenges devastating and sometimes insurmountable. The impact of illness on the self-concept of a patient and the patient's family members depends on how secure the parties' relationships are with one another.
