Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Subjective data are information from the client's point of view, including feelings, perceptions, and concerns. Choices B (description of pain), C (concern about paying for the visit), and D (reasons for delaying the visit) are examples of subjective data because they are based on the client's personal experiences and feelings. Choices A (height and weight) and E (temperature) are considered objective data because they can be measured and verified by someone other than the client.
