Detailed explanation-1: -Subjective data is anecdotal information that comes from opinions, perceptions or experiences. Examples of subjective data in health care include a patient’s pain level and their descriptions of symptoms.

Detailed explanation-2: -A patient complains of a runny nose and cough (subjective) as the healthcare worker observes the patient coughing (objective). A patient complains of feeling stressed and anxious (subjective) while the nurse is measuring the patient’s elevated pulse rate (objective).

Detailed explanation-3: -The patient’s report of pain, pressure, and nausea are subjective data because only the patient can feel the sensation of pain or pressure and nauseous sensation. The report of fever off and on is subjective because the nurse did not measure the temperature on the previous days.
