Answer to Question 1

B
The only subjective data included in a record are what the patient says. Write subjective information with quotation marks, using the patient's own words. For example, a patient's statement of My lower back hurts is subjective and acceptable documentation.

Answer to Question 2

D
Internal variables include a person's stage of growth and development.
