  Feedback
1 A pain rating of 4 on a 1 to 10 scale is secondary data. This finding requires prompt attention to prevent further progression or deterioration.
2 A new diagnosis of type 2 DM is tertiary data that is important but does not require immediate intervention. Tertiary data often requires patient teaching.
3 A slightly elevated blood pressure is secondary data. This finding requires prompt attention to prevent further progression or deterioration.
4 Primary data is anything that is a life threatening problem. A pulse oximetry reading of 73% indicates the blood is not being oxygenated appropriately and requires an immediate intervention to correct the problem.
