Which type of outcome describes the patient's execution of physical tasks?

• A. Psychomotor outcomes
• B. Affective outcomes
• C. Clinical outcomes
• D. Functional outcomes

Answer: (A)

Execution of physical tasks is about motor performance and coordination. Psychomotor outcomes specifically measure how well a patient can perform movement-based tasks—gait, balance, dexterity, and the speed and accuracy of movements. These outcomes capture the actual execution of physical actions, distinct from how a patient feels about care (affective), the disease status or symptoms (clinical), or the ability to perform daily activities (functional). So the best choice describes psychomotor outcomes.
