1. Answer:  False Quality of life is not significant in illness care.
2. Answer:  False Quality of life is invariable for all persons.
3. Answer:  False Physical factors are the key determinants of quality of life.

Explanation:
Quality of life should be a key consideration in illness care. How quality for life is defined is dependent on the individual. The healthcare provider will need to understand the patient's definition of quality of life if the most appropriate plan of care is to be developed. While physical factors are important, they are not the sole, nor necessarily the key, determinants of quality of life. What these determinants are is individually defined.
