Because subjective information must be directly relevant to the patient and treatment session, only the statement relating to the patient's attitude toward therapy would be appropriate. Although the other examples could be appropriate, unless they directly affected the patient's treatment session, they would not be relevant to the session and would not be included in the subjective section.
