I second David's remarks, but perhaps you are searching a way to 
uniquely identify the node from your sample, which is currently not 
unique enough from a larger perspective? Depending on what info is 
present in your real data, you could take any amount of data that you 
can use to uniquely identify the user or the 'record'. Most notably: use 
the ID that you probably have from your database, and do the 
apply-templates such:



<xsl:apply-templates select="Record[@id ='123']" />
.....
<xsl:template match="Record">
   ... your action here ...
</xsl:template>

PS: you mention a call-template that you want to replace with 
apply-templates (which is often a good thing). Can we see (part of) your 
original code that you want to update? Surely you have something that 
currently does select certain 'records' correctly?
