Your patient tells you he has a headache at the back of his head and feels like "throwing up." These are symptoms or (blank) data.

  1. Hand

  2. Standard

  3. Subjective

  4. Listening

The correct answer is: Subjective

Subjective data means that the data is based on the patient's own perception or feelings, rather than objective observations or measurements. The patient's description of having a headache and feeling like throwing up are symptoms that cannot be directly measured or observed by others, making them subjective data. Option A, hand, is not relevant to the context of the patient's symptoms. Option B, standard, does not accurately describe the type of data being discussed. Option D, listening, is not a type of data. It is a skill used to gather data.
