Which of the following examples includes both objective and subjective data?
a. The client's blood pressure reading is 132/68 mm Hg and heart rate is 88 beats/min.
b. The client's cholesterol is elevated, and he states he likes fried food.
c. The client states she has trouble sleeping and that she drinks coffee in the evening.
d. The client states he gets frequent headaches and that he takes aspirin for the pain.
B
Elevated cholesterol is objective and "states he likes fried food" is subjective. Objective data can be observed by someone other than the patient (e.g., from physical assessments or laboratory and diagnostic tests). Subjective data are information given by the client. Blood pressure and heart rate measurements are both objective. "States . . . trouble sleeping and . . . drinks coffee . . ." are both subjective. States ". . . frequent headaches and . . . takes aspirin . . ." are both subjective.
