    During a psychiatric evaluation, the psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner conducts a psychiatric review of systems (ROS) in which he reviews common psychiatric symptoms that may not have been elicited in the history of present illness (HPI). Which of the following questions is most likely designed to elicit a response for the system somatic concerns?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: This question targets somatic concerns by assessing excessive worry or preoccupation with physical health, which is characteristic of somatic symptom disorders. Choice B reason: This question is designed to identify intrusive thoughts or compulsive urges, commonly associated with OCD, not somatic symptom concerns. Choice C reason: This question assesses phobias or anxiety triggers related to specific situations, which is more relevant to anxiety disorders rather than somatic symptoms. Choice D reason: This question evaluates for sleep disorders such as narcolepsy, which is not directly related to somatic symptom concerns.
