A nurse is completing a client's history and physical examination. Which of the following information should the nurse consider subjective data?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Subjective data refers to information provided by the client that cannot be directly observed or measured by the nurse such as nausea. Objective data like blood pressure cyanosis and petechiae can be observed or measured. Nausea relies on the clientÔÇÖs self-report making it subjective.
