Understand the difference between subjective and objective data in Anatomy & Physiology. Subjective data refers to information that is reported by the patient and cannot be measured directly by the healthcare provider, such as feelings or perceptions.
Objective data, on the other hand, includes measurable and observable information, such as vital signs, lab results, and imaging studies.
Review the options provided: Heart rate measurement, X-ray image, Patient's description of pain level, and Blood pressure reading.
Identify which of these options involves the patient's personal experience or perception that cannot be directly measured by the healthcare provider.
Recognize that the patient's description of pain level is subjective data because it is based on the patient's personal experience and cannot be quantified by an external measurement.
