3.meet needs for different professions.
4.have obvious and intuitive spellings.

Answer 1

Clinical vocabularies should be defined in every medical text book to be understood by nurses, medical coders, pharmacists, and physicians in various specialties.

Explanation:

Clinical vocabularies or medical terminologies are universally used by all the healthcare professionals like physicians, surgeons, nurses, physical assistants, pharmacists, etc.

Medical care service is an interconnected service provided by various healthcare professionals and communication between them is very important to provide accurate treatment and care for the patients.

The meaning of each medical or clinical word should be properly understood by these professionals.

Hence, they should be written in universal language and each clinical or medical word should be clearly defined to understand the meaning and to use them appropriately.

Latin-based terminologies (due to its origin from Latin) should be defined properly to understand their meaning. The terms are common to all and not specific to any particular profession. intuitive spellings might misguide the real meaning of the word.
