This reflection aims to assess the influence of objectivity and subjectivity in clinical nursing care. We sought to list which elements are necessary for an adequate definition of objectivity and subjectivity applied to clinical nursing care. When unveiling concepts and aspects inherent to care, the intertwining between care is observed based on subjective and objective dimensions. This reflection also allows for a better understanding of the power relations in the nurse's practice and visits the challenges found for the rupture of the current hegemonic model in search of clinical care aimed at the subject in respect to its various dimensions.
