Patient blood pressure is 102/70.
B
Patient's temperature is 38.6 degrees Celsius.
C
The patient feels like their head is on fire.
D
Patient takes two tablets of Benadryl per week.

Explanation

Qualitative data describes a quality or experience in words rather than measuring it numerically. “The patient feels like their head is on fire” is a subjective description of how the patient feels. Blood pressure, temperature, and the number of tablets taken are quantitative data because they are expressed as measurements or counts.
