Objective data, also referred to as signs, can be measured or observed. The nurse's senses of sight, hearing, touch, and smell are used to collect objective data. Objective assessment data are acquired through observation, physical examination, and analysis of laboratory and diagnostic test results. Subjective data are spoken information or symptoms that cannot be authenticated. Subjective data usually are gathered during the interview process if patients are well enough to describe their symptoms.
