Question

Q1 How will exacerbation of Jim’s COPD affect his quality of life? What about other quality issues like showering himself, walking around , doing work etc?

i need refrence  for the question aswell

Answer 1

Quality of life is a subjective measurement, as an individual feels his life is good.

This involves things like satisfaction, perception of control, involvement, comitment etc it also includes well being in terms of jobs or organization.

So if we consider these in Jim's life it is reduced, as he won't be able to go to his work, nor indulge in his work properly may need to take leave or absent in work, can't be involved in any of the group activities like playing, walking etc.

Jim's quality of life is effected

-as he won't be able to attend any family gathering

-He will be in fear of moving around

-He will be in need of medicines, which again make financial constraints

- he can't be engaged in his work or hobbies

- can't be independent
