Subjective vs Objective Data for Nurses in 2 Minutes 🏥🤓

We've written the book on subjective vs objective data at: https://www.NURSING.com/objective-vs-...

The difference between objective and subjective data in nursing seems simple at first… but then once you dive into a nursing case study, you find yourself second guessing what you thought was simple.

Truth is it is simple; we just make it complicated by over thinking everything.

Objective Data

This is the information that we can gather using our 5 senses. It is either a measurement or an observation.

Subjective Data

This is where we all get ourselves into trouble. . . . pain is really tricky. Is pain subjective or objective?

Subjective data is gathered from the patient telling you something that you cannot use your five senses to measure.
