What type of information is classified as objective information?

  1. Information gathered from the client's emotions

  2. Opinions expressed by caregivers

  3. Information collected using the senses

  4. Rumors or hearsay from family members

The correct answer is: Information collected using the senses

Objective information refers to data that is measurable, observable, and can be verified through direct observation or factual evidence. It is derived from empirical sources rather than personal feelings or opinions. Information collected using the senses is intrinsic to the definition of objective information. This can include observations such as a client’s vital signs, physical condition, and any measurable changes in health or environment. For example, if a caregiver notes that a patient has a fever, this observation is based on temperature readings, which are factual and can be verified. In contrast, the other types of information mentioned are subjective or not based on direct observation. For instance, personal emotions, caregiver opinions, and rumors lack the empirical basis that characterizes objective information, making them less reliable for clinical assessments or decisions.
