Which data category is NOT collected in the Body System Model?

• A. Neurologic
• B. Cardiovascular
• C. Endocrine
• D. Psychosocial

Answer: (C)

In the Body System Model, patient data are organized by distinct body systems to clearly track function and identify problems in each area. Neurologic data focus on brain and nerve function, such as sensation and coordination. Cardiovascular data cover the heart and vessels, including pulse and circulation. Psychosocial data capture mental health, coping, and social supports, recognizing their impact on overall health. Endocrine data aren’t collected as a separate category in this model because endocrine issues often influence multiple other domains. Endocrine function affects metabolism, energy, weight, fluid balance, and more, so its effects are typically assessed within broader areas like metabolic/general and other system observations rather than as an isolated category. That’s why endocrine isn’t a standalone data category in this framework.
