Arizona POST Waiver Practice Test

PEM components refer to Physical, Emotional, and Mental aspects of well-being. The item is asking which term does not belong in that trio. Physical fits as the P, Emotional fits as the E, and Mental fits as the M component. Cognitive, however, describes thinking processes and is not listed as a separate PEM element in this framework; those thinking processes are considered part of mental functioning. So cognitive is the one that isn’t a PEM component.
