  1. A patient has hypertension and complains of burning sensation when urinating. Urine culture test for bacteria was ordered. The physician decided to adjust her Lisinopril to 10 MG. Research the LOINC, CMS and RxNorm websites to identify the LOINC codes, HCPCS Level II codes and RXNorm name, concept unique identifier as well as the semantic clinical drug term type.

The property of patient test is Prid, the method is culture with the component Bacteria (loinc.org, 2019). Three domains of life are named Eubacteria, multi-division of cells leads to different principles which are forms rodlike, spirochetal, bacillary and spiral. This system is referred for the LP14082-9 Bacteria. In addition to the chemotrophs which obtain their energy from the chemicals and the bacteria can be classified by its source. Based on the structure of wall, the bacteria are classified using the crystal violet dye is term of Gram-negative and Gram-positive.
The RxNorm used for the specific terminologies which are helpful in keeping the personal records of health applicants (dailymed.nlm.nih.gov, 2019). The term used for this issue is ICD-9 and SENOMED-CT. This concept allows naming same diseases in different terms.
