oxygen saturation
chest tightness
temperature
frothy mucus

Explanation:

Subjective data in nursing is information reported by the patient, based on their feelings or perceptions. Objective data is measurable or observable (e.g., oxygen saturation, temperature, frothy mucus). Chest tightness is what the patient complains about (subjective), while the others are objective findings.

Answer:

Chest tightness
