Explanation:

• Role performance: The client's work - related role (and other roles) may be affected as they can't perform duties as before due to the amputation.
• Identity: How the client sees themselves (their identity) can change, as their physical ability and role in life are altered.
• Self - esteem: A change in physical ability and appearance can affect self - worth (self - esteem).
• Health promotion is not a component of self - concept, so it is excluded.
