Which of the following conditions could lead to body image disturbance?

Stable chronic illness
Recent surgery
Non-progressive neurological disorder
Long-term use of antihypertensives

The correct answer is: Recent surgery

Recent surgery can significantly impact a patient's body image due to the physical changes that may occur, the visibility of scars, or alterations in bodily function and aesthetics. This can lead to feelings of self-consciousness or a negative perception of one’s body as individuals adjust to their new appearance or limitations. The psychological effects of surgery, particularly if it is major or visible, often result in patients reassessing their relationship with their body and can lead to body image disturbance. In contrast, stable chronic illnesses or non-progressive neurological disorders might not lead to immediate disturbances in body image since they are typically managed over time, allowing individuals to develop coping mechanisms. Long-term use of antihypertensives usually does not cause noticeable changes in body appearance. Therefore, while those other conditions can affect overall well-being, they are less likely to lead to immediate body image concerns compared to the impacts of recent surgery.
