Which classification is used to identify logical observation identifiers, names, and codes in laboratory and clinical observation?

  1. CCC

  2. ICD

  3. LOINC

  4. NANDA

The correct answer is: CCC

The correct answer is not A. The correct classification used to identify logical observation identifiers, names, and codes in laboratory and clinical observation is C. LOINC. LOINC stands for Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes and is a set of universal codes and names for laboratory and clinical observations. Option A, CCC, is not a commonly used classification in healthcare for identifying observation identifiers. Option B, ICD (International Classification of Diseases), is used for coding diseases and related health problems but not for laboratory or clinical observation identifiers. Option D, NANDA (North American Nursing Diagnosis Association), is used for nursing diagnoses and is not specifically related to laboratory or clinical observation identifiers.
