tests may be conducted for each patient. Doctors are specialists in a specific ward
and may be leading consultants for a number of patients. Each patient is assigned to
one leading consultant but may be examined by other doctors, if required.

following:

a. Identify the main entity types.

b. Identify the main relationship types between the entity types.
c. Identify attributes and associate them with entity or relationship types.
d. Determine candidate and primary key attributes for each (strong) entity type.
e. Determine the multiplicity constraints for each relationship .State any
assumptions necessary to support your design.

You may choose to use Chen Notation or Crow Foot Notation (20 marks)
