Final answer:
The objective portion of a medical note includes the name of the procedure, completeness of counts, labeling of specimen, and issues with equipment.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the objective portion of a medical note, some things that are included are:
- The name of the procedure as recorded
- Whether the needle, sponge, and instrument counts are complete (or not applicable)
