Q1.
In a post-implementation evaluation of a clinical decision support system (CDSS), you find
that alert fatigue has reduced clinician response rates to critical drug-drug interaction
alerts. Which strategy is most evidence-based to mitigate alert fatigue while preserving
safety?
A. Disable all non-critical alerts to reduce B. Implement tiered alerting based on
the total volume severity and clinical context
C. Increase the frequency of alerts to ensure D. Provide override reasons as free-text
visibility without any default
Correct: B - Implement tiered alerting based on severity and clinical context
Rationale:Tiered alerting, which prioritizes alerts based on severity and patient-specific
context, has been shown to reduce alert fatigue while maintaining safety. Disabling all
non-critical alerts (A) may miss important warnings; increasing frequency (C) worsens fatigue;
free-text overrides (D) do not address the root cause.
Q2.
When integrating a new wearable device that streams patient vitals into the EHR, which
interoperability standard is most appropriate for real-time, event-based data exchange?
A. HL7 FHIR WebSocket subscriptions B. HL7 v2.x ADT messages
C. CDA documents D. DICOM
Correct: A - HL7 FHIR WebSocket subscriptions
Rationale:FHIR supports RESTful APIs and WebSocket subscriptions for real-time push of
data, ideal for streaming vitals. HL7 v2.x (B) is for message-based transactions like ADT, not
real-time continuous data; CDA (C) is document-centric; DICOM (D) is for imaging.
Q3.
A nurse informaticist is designing a clinical decision support (CDS) rule to identify
patients at risk for sepsis. Which approach best minimizes alert fatigue while maximizing
sensitivity?

University-level Nursing AND Health Informatics Students Nursing Informatics Graduate
A. Use a single high-sensitivity SIRS B. Incorporate multiple data points (e.g.,
criterion threshold lactate, blood pressure) with a composite
score
C. Alert only on physician order entry, not on D. Require a confirmatory manual
vital signs assessment before alerting
Correct: B - Incorporate multiple data points (e.g., lactate, blood pressure) with a
composite score
Rationale:Composite scores like qSOFA or NEWS that combine multiple variables provide
better discrimination and can be adjusted for specificity. Single criteria (A) may cause high
false positives; limiting to order entry (C) misses real-time detection; manual confirmation (D)
adds burden and delays.
Q4.
In conducting a gap analysis for a new telehealth program, which of the following is a
primary consideration for ensuring equity and access?
A. Broadband internet availability in the B. Provider reimbursement rates
target population
C. State licensure requirements D. Patient satisfaction surveys
Correct: A - Broadband internet availability in the target population
Rationale:Broadband access is a fundamental social determinant of health that directly
affects telehealth equity. Reimbursement (B), licensure (C), and satisfaction (D) are important
but secondary to the basic ability to connect.
Q5.
A health system is migrating from a legacy EHR to a new one. Which data migration
strategy best ensures data integrity and semantic interoperability?
A. Extract, transform, and load (ETL) using B. Direct database-to-database copy with
a common data model minimal mapping
C. Manual re-entry of all historical data D. Parallel run of both systems for six
months
Correct: A - Extract, transform, and load (ETL) using a common data model
Rationale:ETL with a common data model ensures that data are transformed into a
consistent, standards-based format, preserving meaning. Direct copy (B) risks incorrect
mapping; manual re-entry (C) is error-prone; parallel run (D) is a go-live strategy, not a
migration method.
