Which item listed under Erin Corney's Client Concerns is psychosocial?

• A. Physiological: Nutrition
• B. Psychosocial: Mood and Affect
• C. Health Promotion: Client Education
• D. Physiological: Tissue Integrity

Answer: (B)

Psychosocial concerns focus on a patient’s emotional well-being, mood, coping, and social interactions. Mood and Affect directly describe the patient’s emotional state and outward expression, which are core to psychosocial assessment. By contrast, Nutrition and Tissue Integrity are physiological—they relate to body structure and function—while Client Education falls under Health Promotion, emphasizing teaching and promoting healthy behaviors. So, Mood and Affect is the psychosocial item.
