    I usually don't have much trouble with care plans but this quarter all of our patients are on ventilators and for the most part are A&O x0. So my question is, what kind of subjective data can I have if my patient is unable to tell me anything? Because wouldn't anything else be an observation and be considered objective?

    Thanks! :]

    . nonverbal patients – a special population

    your vented patient if arousable can indicate plenty by wirting, squeezing your hand.....mouthing words.

    i have found that asking them to "write" in all capital letters on the palm of my hand, as i verify each letter, is very useful. most of these folks can't use a pen and paper, but most retain their knowledge of abcs.
