Which action is associated with the global icon in the patient database?

• A. Delete a patient record
• B. Logout from the system
• C. Add a new patient to the database or edit current patient information
• D. Print patient reports

Answer: (C)

The global icon is tied to actions that change or update patient records across the database. Adding a new patient creates a new entry in the system, and editing current patient information updates the existing record, both of which affect the central data for a patient. This is why this icon is associated with managing patient data at a broad level. Other icons typically correspond to more specific tasks: deleting uses a remove action, logging out uses a sign-out icon, and printing uses a printer icon. So the action that best fits the global icon is adding a new patient or editing current patient information.
