Which term describes the presence of memory-related anxiety during assessment?

• A. Question Order.
• B. Memory Testing Concern.
• C. Cognitive Intact.
• D. Relevant Answers.

Answer: (B)

Memory Testing Concern captures the presence of memory-related anxiety during assessment. When a patient or caregiver expresses worry about forgetting things or performing poorly on memory tasks, this is documented as a memory testing concern. This designation acknowledges that anxiety can influence test performance and helps clinicians interpret results more accurately, plan needed supports, and consider re-testing if appropriate. It isn’t about the order of questions, nor does it claim cognitive status is intact, and it isn’t a generic or unrelated label.
