Course 1 Module 06 Assignment
The assignment for Module 6 provides practice using the Crow’s Foot notation. I
encourage you to use both the ER Assistant and Visual Paradigm to complete the problems in
module 6. Module 7 contains software demonstrations for both the ER Assistant and Visual
Paradigm.
1. Draw an ERD containing the LabVisit and Patient entity types connected by a 1-M
relationship from Patient to LabVisit. Choose an appropriate relationship name using your
common knowledge of interactions between patients and lab visits. Define minimum
cardinalities so that a patient is required for a lab visit. For the Patient entity type, add
attributes PatNo (primary key), PatLastName, PatFirstName, PatDOB (date of birth). For
the LabVisit entity type, add attributes for the LVNo (primary key), LVDate, LVProvNo, and
optional LVOrdNo (for orders from physicians). If you are using a data modeling tool that
supports data type specification, choose appropriate data types for the attributes based on
2. Extend problem 1 with the Lab entity type connected by a 1-M relationship from Lab to
interactions between labs and lab visits. Define minimum cardinalities so that a lab is
required for a lab visit. For the Lab entity type, add attributes LabNo (primary key),
LabName, LabStreet, LabCity, LabState, and LabZip. If you are using a data modeling tool
that supports data type specification, choose appropriate data types for the attributes based on
3. Augment your ERD from problem 2 with the Specimen entity type. For each specimen
collected, the database should record a unique SpecNo, SpecArea (vaginal, cervical, or
endocervical), and SpecCollMethod (thin prep or sure path). You should also add a 1-M
relationship from LabVisit to Specimen. A lab visit must produce at least one specimen. A
2. Submission
The submission requirements involve evidence that you draw the ERD for each problem.
You should submit one document containing snapshots of ERDs for problems 1 to 3. You should
use the same names for entity types and attributes as specified in the assignment. You should not
