Subjective findings are reported by the patient, and in the case of varicose veins, a common complaint is the aching of legs. This is something the patient would express rather than something observed or measured directly by the nurse. Ankle edema, purple lesions, and palpable nodules are objective findings that can be observed or measured by the nurse.
