This clinical statement represents the subjective assessment of the severity of the
condition as evaluated by the clinician.
The Severity Observation can be associated with a Reaction Observation. When the Severity Observation is associated with a Reaction Observation it characterizes
a reaction. A person may
manifest many symptoms in a reaction to a single substance, and each reaction to the
substance can be represented. However, each reaction observation can have only one
severity observation associated with it. For example, someone may have a rash reaction
observation as well as an itching reaction observation, but each can have only one
level of severity.
