The Coloplast QoL questionnaire helps identify specific issues such as anxiety or concern.

• A. Anxiety or concern
• B. Visual acuity changes
• C. Respiratory infections
• D. Cardiac arrhythmias

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that an ostomy-specific quality-of-life questionnaire targets how living with a stoma affects emotional and social well-being. It includes items about anxiety or concern related to stoma care, leaks, odor, body image, and social activities. That focus helps clinicians identify psychosocial burdens so they can provide targeted support or education.

Anxiety or concern is the best fit because it directly reflects the emotional and social impact the stoma can have on daily life. The other options—visual changes, respiratory infections, and cardiac arrhythmias—are medical issues not typically captured as quality-of-life items in this ostomy-focused tool. They may be important for overall health but aren’t the specific domains this questionnaire is designed to assess.
