Which of the following modifiers would classify a patient with a mild systemic disease?

The classification of patients with various systemic diseases uses specific modifiers in the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification system. The P1 modifier indicates a healthy patient with no systemic disease, while the P2 modifier represents a patient with a mild systemic disease. Mild systemic diseases may include conditions such as controlled hypertension or diabetes without any systemic effects.

The P3 modifier, on the other hand, refers to a patient with a severe systemic disease that is not incapacitating, while P4 represents a patient with severe systemic disease that is a constant threat to life. Therefore, the P2 modifier is the correct choice for classifying a patient with a mild systemic disease as it accurately reflects the level of systemic involvement without indicating severe complications or threats to life.
