I agree, Pain is subjective, we rate it on a scale of 0-10 with 10 bieng the worst misery that particular patient has ever feel and 0 being none. They are then asked to compare the current pain relatively to those numbers, that opening any nurse taking care of the patient can tell if the discomfort is better or worse by simply asking the number at that time.

Objective data is information that you can perceive using your owns senses. You can see, hear, smell, be aware of, sometimes taste, and sometimes measure objective notes.
Subjective data is information supplied to you by the subject, or patient. They are things that you cannot yourself perceive with your senses of verbs, sound, smell, or touch. For example, pain. A patient tell you they have a pain in their leg. That is subjective background. It is based on the patent's statement. You cannot see, hear, smell, or feel the patent's pain. However, you can see a grimace on the frontage of someone in pain. The grimace on their face would be an ambition observation. Source(s): RN Southern California
It's subjective data that's gathered from patients, typically on a enormity of one to ten.

When assessing a patient, their pain is subjective. It is whatever they voice it is because you cannot see pain by looking at someone.

I would certainly agree with the above posters but would put in that in some instances, an increase in pulse or blood pressure may signal pain to join an objective element to the assessment. Of course the problem is that these increase in response to a few stimuli, but I have found them helpful at times when dealing with a post-op tolerant who is denying pain, but giving all sorts of nonverbal signals that they are in twinge (rigid posture in bed, grimacing, that sort of thing.)
