a. Objective.


b. Reflective.


c. Subjective.


d. Introspective.


ANS: A

Objective data are what the health professional observes by inspecting, percussing, palpating, and auscultating
during the physical examination. Subjective data is what the person says about him or herself during history
taking. The terms reflective and introspective are not used to describe data.

DIF: Cognitive Level: Understanding (Comprehension) REF: p. 2

a. Objective.


b. Reflective.


c. Subjective.


d. Introspective.


ANS: C

Subjective data are what the person says about him or herself during history taking. Objective data are what the
health professional observes by inspecting, percussing, palpating, and auscultating during the physical
examination. The terms reflective and introspective are not used to describe data.

DIF: Cognitive Level: Understanding (Comprehension) REF: p. 2

c. Validate the data by asking a coworker to listen to the breath sounds.


d. Assess again in 20 minutes to note whether the sound is still present.
