Given below are two statements:

Statement I: Whenever a subjective measurement is called for, every effort should be made to make the subjective evaluation as objective as possible.

Statement II: No amount of objective measurement will replace sound judgment, nor is there anything wrong with subjective judgment.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Explanation:

Statement 1: Whenever a subjective measurement is called for, every effort should be made to make the subjective evaluation as objective as possible:

• Subjective measurement is how scientists measure what people say.
• It is essential to listen to the patients and get feedback on their experiences here.
• Subjective measurement is taken on the basis of satisfying some objective 

Thus, statement 1 is true.

Statement 2: No amount of objective measurement will replace sound judgment, nor is there anything wrong with subjective judgment.

• Opinions or perspectives of others do not influence objective data.
• Gathering objective data requires each participant to complete the same set of tasks.
• This will give more reliable and consistent data.

Thus, statement 2 is true.

Thus, both statements 1 and 2 are true.

Additional Information:

• Subjective measurement:
  • Subjective measurements rely on human judgment, such as “How is theback pain today?”, often with great variability in reporting. 
• Objective measurement:
  • Objective measurements are quantifiable, impartial, and recorded with a diagnostic instrument, such as an oximeter for blood oxygenation or a wearable device to measure step count.
