2. During the process of gathering the subjective data from the client, the nurse must be
attuned to what the patient says, along with the signs, symptoms, behaviors, and cues offered
by the patient. This situational awareness and focused data collection will enable the nurse to
create a comprehensive database about the patient.
3. The client’s history of type 2 diabetes requires further investigation but the nurse must first
ascertain the client’s definition of what healthy means.
4. There is not enough information to determine the client’s withholding of information to the
nurse.
