Which of these is considered nominal data?

  1. Age

  2. Gender

  3. NYHA functional class

  4. Blood Pressure

The correct answer is: Gender

Nominal data is a type of data that represents categories or names, rather than numerical values. Age (choice A), NYHA functional class (choice C), and Blood Pressure (choice D) are all numerical measurements and therefore not considered nominal data. Gender (choice B) on the other hand, is a categorical variable that represents different categories or names (male, female, non-binary, etc.) and is therefore considered nominal data.
