During an examination, the nurse notices that the patient stumbles a little while walking, and, when she sits down, she holds on to the sides of the chair. The patient states, "It feels like the room is spinning!" The nurse notices that the patient is experiencing:

A. Subjective vertigo: Subjective vertigo refers to the sensation of being dizzy but without the room spinning. The patient described the sensation of the room spinning. B. Tinnitus: Tinnitus refers to a ringing or buzzing sound in the ears, not the sensation of the room spinning. C. Dizziness: Dizziness can refer to a range of symptoms, but the description of the room spinning suggests vertigo, not just dizziness. D. Objective vertigo: Objective vertigo refers to the sensation that the room is spinning, which the patient describes. This is typically a vestibular issue involving the inner ear.
