Arm pain is an example of what kind of data?

  1. Objective data

  2. Quantitative data

  3. Subjective data

  4. Unreliable data

The correct answer is: Objective data

Arm pain is considered objective data because it is an observable and measurable symptom that can be confirmed through physical examination or diagnostic tests. Quantitative data refers to numerical data, which does not necessarily apply to an example of arm pain. Subjective data is based on personal opinion or perspective, and while arm pain is experienced subjectively, it is still considered objective data because it can be verified. Unreliable data refers to data that is inaccurate or not trustworthy, which does not apply to arm pain as a symptom of a medical condition. Armstrong objective data is the most accurate and reliable way to document and assess a patient's arm pain.
