1. After completing an initial assessment of a patient, the nurse has charted that his respirations are
XC XC XC XC XC XC XC XC XC XC XC XC XC XC XC X
Ceupneic and his pulse is 58 beats per minute. These types of data would be:

a. Objective.
b. Reflective.
c. Subjective.
d. Introspective.
ANS: A XC
Objective data are what the health professional observes by inspecting, percussing, palpating, and auscu
