Hi , I just finished reviewing for the NCLEX with Kaplan, so I am going to attempt to explain the Maslow system. The psychosocial answers are those that respond to the way a person feels or their thought process. An example would describe someone's anxiety level or state of mania. Those that are physical correlate with the pathophysiology of the body and its systems for example bleeding, signs of infection. Review the first level of Maslow's hierachy and you will get a good sense of the basic needs that must be met for a person first.
