Question 5 of 9
Data collection includes the gathering of subjective and objective data from or about a client. Subjective data are:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Subjective data are the client's perceptions about their health like reporting pain or fatigue captured through interviews or questionnaires. These reflect personal experiences, not measurable by others, distinguishing them from objective data (e.g., temperature). Physician history forms provide mixed data, often objective (e.g., lab results), not purely subjective unless quoting the client. Observations by the collector like rash appearance are objective, directly seen or measured. Ancillary reports (e.g., radiology) are objective, based on tests, not perceptions. Subjective data's focus on the client's voice e.g., 'I feel anxious' is vital for holistic assessment, guiding nurses to explore symptoms' impact, making it the correct definition here.

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Torts are wrongful acts (A), intentional or not (B), causing harm (D), per law 'always intentional' (C) is untrue, as negligence is unintentional. C's absolute intent fails, making it the untrue statement.
