Passage / Scenario
A nurse is completing a client's history and physical examination. Which of the following information should the nurse consider subjective data?Nausea
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A: Petechiae. Nausea is a symptom commonly associated with bleeding disorders, such as thrombocytopenia, which can cause petechiae (small red or purple spots on the skin due to bleeding under the skin). Blood pressure (choice B) and cyanosis (choice C) are not directly related to nausea. In the absence of other choices, petechiae is the most appropriate option to link with nausea due to its association with bleeding disorders.
