what the person says about himself or herself

Subjective data




what you observe by inspecting, percussing, palpating, and auscultating

Objective data




is the process of analyzing health data and drawing conclusions to identify diagnoses. It has 4 major
components

Diagnostic reasoning

piece of information, a sign or symptom, or a piece of laboratory data

Cues

includes a complete health history & results of a full physical examination (used when meeting the
patient for the 1st time)

Complete database

"mini-database", smaller in scope & more focused than the complete database. Concerns mainly one
problem, one cue complex, or one body system

Focused (episodic) database

the status of any identified problems should be evaluated at regular & appropriate intervalsa

Follow-up database

calls for a rapid collection of the data, often compiled while life-saving measures are occurring
(diagnosis must be swift & sure)

Emergency database

,self awareness of your cultural beliefs, and biases or misconceptions of cultural differences

Cultural competence




not forcing your cultures onto others (ex. saying "Happy Holidays"instead of "Merry Christmas")

Cultural safety

values, beliefs, experience, biases, family/friends, tradition --> influence the way we behave and our
own biases

What drives who we are?




the main purpose is to collect subjective data, regarding the clients current state of health

Goal of an interview

concentrated watching (close, careful, scrutiny, 1st of the individual as a whole and then following
each body system) always performed 1st* (looky not touchy!)

Inspection




follows & often confirms points you noted during inspection. apply a sense of touch to assess
texture, temp, moisture & organ location & size, as well as any swelling, vibration or pulsation,
rigidity or spasticity, presence of lumps or masses & presence of tenderness or pain

Palpation

, listening to sounds produced by parts of the body, such as the heart and blood vessels, the lungs,
and abdomen

Auscultation




tapping the person's skin with short, sharp strokes to assess underlying structures (ex. enlarged
livers) (hollow or solid)

Percussion




physical appearance, body structure, mobility, behaviours

General Survey

Vital signs
