This statement reflects the client's personal feelings and preferences, which qualifies it as subjective data. Subjective data refers to any information provided by the client that relates to their personal experience or feelings, whereas objective data refers to measurable, observable information like vital signs or lab results. Assessment and planning are also not appropriate categories for this statement, as they relate more to the nurse's interpretation of the data and their plans for treatment or interventions.
