Which term is listed as one of the organ systems that can be examined?

• A. Psychiatric
• B. Skeletal
• C. Lymphatic
• D. Endocrine

Answer: (A)

In many patient exams, the review of systems includes a mental health domain alongside physical organ systems. The term psychiatric is treated as a system to be examined because it covers mental status, mood, affect, cognition, and behavior—components that clinicians routinely assess during the ROS or mental-status portion of the exam. This framing lets clinicians document how the patient’s mental health appears and functions, just as skeletal would cover bones and joints, lymphatic would cover lymph nodes and immune-related areas, and endocrine would cover glands and hormone-related symptoms. So, identifying psychiatric as a listed system reflects its role as a standard category in the exam checklist, making it a valid choice in this context.
