Thank you all again, and Edmia for trying to help.

Thank you all for the reply! It is SOOOO incovenient to have to answer these in black and white without context. As mentioned, I have not found a clear categorization as such in any materials or articles. It really depends on the context. What threw me off is that in particular "chest pain" and "fatigue" in one academic sources was described as Objective which I thought to be subjective. But, I will keep in mind your suggestions. Thank you.

Yes, it helps thank you. Still, like mentioned it really depends on the context - usually what you observe is objective but again, there are other angles. I looked for a textbook or article that sheds more light like really categorizing these at their face values so that it is not so much room for interpretation and discussion and I have not found something like this anywhere. Therefore, I guess we go with what we believe is best instead of a much clearer direction.

Thank you for the reply! The other sources were saying that if you observe the patient in pain that is objective versus where the patient says that he/she is in pain which would be subjective. The same with fatigue: if the patient says she/he could only sleep 3 hours at night, comes yawning and is visibily tired, then you observe fatigue and that is objective too. There are so many angles to think this through and Bates does not have a clear chart to categorize objective and subjective, so everyone can come up with their own interpretations!!!

Thank you for the replies! I was confused in particular regarding chest pain as some textbooks categorizes it as objective and other sources as subjective. I believe it to be subjective but after reading other textbooks I was not sure about that. Feer is Fever. So here what I came up with - like I said I believe pain to be subjective but the answers below are according to some textbook materials: Bleeding - Objective Abdominal pain - Objective Fatigue - Objective Pupil observation - Objective Diarrhea - Subjective Chest pain- Objective Depression - Objective Fever -Objective Nausea - Subjective Vomiting - Objective

I am trying to determine from the followings which one is subjective and which one is objective within the Physical Examination. I would appreciate your input. Bleeding Abdominal Pain Fatigue Diarrhea Chest Pain Depression Feer Nausea Vomiting.
