Medical - Medical (general) / Short medical report
Spanish term or phrase: ADMINISTRATIVA
Context:

Short report on negative Mantoux test.

Under "Diagnosticos y Procedimientos" it says "ADMINISTRATIVA", followed by a series of letters and numbers in brackets. It is not obvious to me why "administrative" is in the feminine. What is it agreeing with? Does it just mean reference number?

Thanks if you can help.

disagree  Samuel Sebastian Holden Bramah: una administrativa puede ser del sector publico o privado, para nada es sinonimo de funcionario.

  -> Si, normalmente funcionario es únicamente del sector público, pero algunas veces puede usarse como empleado del sector privado.

neutral  Joseph Tein: or even "administrative" ... although it still leaves us in the dark as to what it really refers to
