Question 11 • Health Science Concepts A1 – EDGNTY-83861 26-27

Georgia has hypochondriasis, and Leo has a pain disorder. Which of the following do Georgia and Leo most likely have in common?

Answer
A
a history of normal medical exams
B
significant pain in a specific area
C
a preoccupation with the idea of being sick
D
an onset of the disorder before the age of 30

Explanation

Both hypochondriasis and pain disorder involve symptoms or concerns that are not adequately explained by a medical condition, so normal medical examinations are likely common to both. Significant pain in a specific area is characteristic of pain disorder, not necessarily hypochondriasis. Preoccupation with being sick is characteristic of hypochondriasis, not pain disorder.
