Which item identifies cognitive, behavioral, and psychiatric symptoms?

• A. M1745 Measures frequency of disruptive behavior symptoms.
• B. D0700 Assesses social isolation in patients.
• C. M1740 Identifies cognitive, behavioral, and psychiatric symptoms.
• D. M1100 Describes patient's living situation.

Answer: (C)

The item that identifies cognitive, behavioral, and psychiatric symptoms is the one purposefully designed to capture issues across those three domains in one place. It explicitly looks for problems in thinking or memory (cognitive), changes in behavior (behavioral), and mood or psychiatric symptoms (such as depression, anxiety, or psychosis), and notes how these affect safety and daily function. This direct focus on all three areas makes it the best choice for identifying the full range of cognitive, behavioral, and psychiatric symptoms.

The other items target narrower areas: one measures how often disruptive behaviors occur, another assesses social isolation, and another describes the living situation. While these are important, they do not comprehensively identify cognitive, behavioral, and psychiatric symptoms across domains.
