Examples of quantitative data include?

  1. A patient's diagnoses and treatment plan

  2. A patient's feelings and emotions

  3. A patient's height, weight, and vital signs

  4. A patient's personal stories

The correct answer is: A patient's height, weight, and vital signs

Quantitative data refers to numerical information that can be measured and expressed using numbers. In the context of healthcare, examples of quantitative data include a patient's height, weight, and vital signs. These are objective measurements that can be quantified and analyzed to assist in making clinical decisions. On the other hand, options A, B, and D involve subjective information and qualitative data that are not easily measured or expressed numerically, making them incorrect in this context.
