Explanation:

• For the first question: A subjective observation is based on the patient's own feelings or statements. "Patient states 'I am nervous'" is a direct report of the patient's internal state. The other options ("patient consumed 50% of their meal", "The patient's blood pressure is elevated", "The patient vomitted") are objective (measurable or observable facts).
• For the second question: "Sterile" means free from all organisms. "Asepsis" is the state of being free from disease - causing microorganisms (not all organisms). "Bacteria" are a type of organism. "Pathogens" are disease - causing organisms.

Answer:

• First question: patient states "I am nervous"
• Second question: sterile
