- dying
phase of trajectory model of chronic illness:
- before illness occurs
- no S+S
- pre trajectory
phase of trajectory model of chronic illness:
- S+S present to some extent
- includes diagnostic period
- trajectory onset
phase of trajectory model of chronic illness:
-controlled illness course/symptoms
- stable
phase of trajectory model of chronic illness:
- illness course/symptoms not controlled by regimen
- not requiring/desiring hospitalization
- unstable
phase of trajectory model of chronic illness:
-active illness/complications that require hospitalization or management
- acute
phase of trajectory model of chronic illness:
- life threatening situation

- crisis
phase of trajectory model of chronic illness:
-period of temporary remission from crisis
