Ans: B
Feedback:
To obtain objective data from the patient, the nurse would auscultate heart and lung sounds. Objective data includes the facts obtained through physical assessment or physical examination. Reviewing the patient's health and family history and inquiring about the patient's eating habits will help the nurse in obtaining subjective data, which includes facts supplied by the patient and the patient's family.
