Answer for the stated period.
Keep context in view.

Choose the response that best reflects your recent experience rather than the answer you think you should give. Scores are influenced by timing, interpretation and circumstances.

If an item raises immediate safety concerns, do not wait for an online result or private reply. Use NHS 111 for urgent advice and call 999 where there is immediate danger.
