c. Subjective.
d. Introspective.
ANS: | A
Objective |data |are |what |the |health |professional |observes |by |inspecting, |percussing, |palpating, |and |auscultating
|during |the |physical |examination. |Subjective |data |is |what |the |person |says |about |him |or |herself |during |history
|taking. | The | terms | reflective | and | introspective | are | not | used | to | describe | data.
