kinds of databases? - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔Every examiner needs to collect *four kinds of databases* based
on the situation. What are the four kinds of databases?

(2) A *focused (or problem-centered) database* is used for a limited or short-term problem. It is smaller
in scope and more targeted than the complete database.

up on short-term or chronic health problems.

(4) An *emergency database* calls for rapid collection of data, which commonly occurs while performing
lifesaving measures.

as the absence of disease. It focuses on collecting data on biophysical signs and symptoms and on curing
disease.
