Answer
A
A patient’s vital signs are normal.
B
A patient complains of a severe headache.
C
A patient has a bowel movement at 10:00 a.m.
D
A patient walks to the bathroom unassisted.
E
A patient describes a ringing sound in her ears.

Explanation

Subjective data are symptoms or experiences reported by the patient and cannot be directly measured or observed by someone else. A severe headache and ringing in the ears are personal experiences the patient describes, so choices B and E are subjective. Vital signs, a bowel movement, and walking unassisted can be measured or observed, making them objective data.
