3. When documenting assessment data, the nurse must use descriptive, factual statements versus interpretive statements. Example: Interpretive statement: appears anxious. Factual statement: observed crying. States, “I am worried about my surgery." Change the following interpretive statements into descriptive, factual statements: The room was messy. • Tolerated activity well. . Adequate fluid intake. Ate well. • Client appears disoriented. Seems in good spirits. Vital signs within normal limits.
