What constitutes a day-trade as it pertains to the SEC day-trading rule?

Okay so if I buy a stock and I sell it in the same day, is that the only way it would be considered a day-trade? Are options subject to this rule as well.

Also, the five day period: is that Mon-Fri, or is that five consecutive trading days?
