Discussion
Which of the following are the emotional responses to illness?
1. Overdependency
2. Stress
3. Fear
4. Feeling of helplessness
5. Feeling of hopefulness
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Answer: C
The emotional responses are 1, 2, 3, 4.
Illness commonly brings overdependency on others, stress, fear about the outcome and pain, and a feeling of helplessness or loss of control. Nurses are taught to recognise these responses and support the patient through them.
A feeling of hopefulness is a positive coping state that care tries to build, not a typical emotional response to falling ill. So every option including 5 is wrong.
