Doctor A asks you for help since you are a health informatics analyst. Describe how you would use the database to find the answer. For example, do you need to use the database table representing QDM element "Laboratory Test"? What other tables in this database do you need to use? How will you generate the answer for Doctor A from theses database tables?

Save your report as a Word file and save it as H3_FL2.docx where FL are your first and last name initials.
