What concept best identifies Joshua's concern?a. factitious disorderb. malingeringc. moral anxietyd. collaborative empiricism

Answer 1

Answer: B. Malingering

Explanation: When it comes to feigning physical injuries or claiming a disability due to stress in order to receive a government disability payment then this is a malingering. This means that none of the options offered is at stake because it is not about actual injuries, anxiety, meaning factual states of injury. This is an attempt to extort disability benefits.
