Answer to Question 1

Ans: C

Subjective data are information perceived only by the affected person. They cannot be perceived or verified by another person. Other terms for subjective data are symptoms or covert data.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C

The time-lapsed assessment is scheduled to compare a client's current status to baseline data obtained earlier. Most clients in residential settings and those receiving nursing care over longer periods of time, such as homebound clients with visiting nurses, are scheduled for periodic time-lapsed assessments to reassess health status and to make necessary revisions in the plan of care.
