Question

The nurse is admitting a woman for surgery. She twists a handkerchief in her hands, saying, "I'm going to have a little mole removed. I'm not worried. I will go home right after surgery. I've never been sick a day in my life, so I'll be fine." The nurse finds the following during her physical assessment: BP = 150/90; T = 98.6; P = 88; R = 20; black, brown, & red pigmented pea-sized raised area on her right shoulder. Which of the above information would be considered subjective data? (Select all that apply.)

a. The woman's statement about having a little mole removed.

b. The woman's statement about not being worried.

c. The woman's statement about going home right after surgery.

d. The woman's statement about never being sick a day in her life.

Answer 1

The subjective data in the scenario includes the woman's statements about her mole removal, lack of worry, going home after surgery, and never being sick.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subjective data in the given scenario includes:

a. The woman's statement about having a little mole removed.

b. The woman's statement about not being worried.

c. The woman's statement about going home right after surgery.
