Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the difference between objective and subjective data: Objective data refers to measurable and observable information that can be verified by others, while subjective data is based on personal opinions, interpretations, points of view, emotions, and judgment.
Identify the examples provided in the problem: Blood pressure reading, Patient's report of dizziness, Patient's feeling of fatigue, and Patient's description of pain level.
Determine which of these examples can be measured or observed directly: Blood pressure reading is a quantifiable measurement that can be taken using a sphygmomanometer and verified by healthcare professionals.
Recognize that the other examples (dizziness, fatigue, pain level) are subjective data: These are based on the patient's personal experience and cannot be directly measured or observed by others.
Conclude that the blood pressure reading is the example of objective data in Anatomy & Physiology, as it provides a measurable and verifiable piece of information.
