Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that the family is observing the client's confusion is an objective observation, as it can be observed and measured by the nurse or other healthcare professionals. It is not considered inference, which refers to conclusions drawn by the nurse based on other data or observations. It is not subjective data, which would be information based on the client's own report or perception. It is not secondary subjective data, as it is not coming from a secondary source such as a medical record or another healthcare professional's report.
