TFSC EXAM 4 QUESTIONS AND 100%
CORRECT ANSWERS!!
The concept behind a "safe harbor" is valuable in that it:
a. Encourages transparency and reporting of errors
b. Protects the RCA team participants from having to produce their records for discovery
c. Guarantees a fair administration of justice
d. Eventually results in a decrease in the frequency of nonconformities
a. Encourages transparency and reporting of errors
The purpose of a Potential RCA Initiation Matrix is:
a. To evaluate whether a full RCA is necessary by assessing the likelihood and severity of
the nonconformity in question.
b. To ensure the cost of conducting a full RCA is measured against its impact or outcomes.
c. To demonstrate that nonconformities do not go unaddressed by the service provider.
d. To ensure RCA is an unbiased process, only focusing on the two main factors in a
vacuum (probability and severity).
a. To evaluate whether a full RCA is necessary by assessing the likelihood and severity of the
nonconformity in question.
Common categories reviewed when constructing a fishbone diagram are:
a. Equipment, processes, environment, materials, people
b. Processes, environment, materials, measurements, safety
c. Environment, QA program, materials, people
d. Equipment, people, management, primary and secondary causes
a. Equipment, processes, environment, materials, people
At the very least, who needs to know when an error in casework occurs?
a. Complainant, suspect, law enforcement
b. Stakeholders and lab management
c. ISO and lab management
d. All of the above
, b. Stakeholders and lab management
Which of the following is NOT one of the scientific process guiding principles?
a. Pose significant questions that can be investigated empirically.
b. Use methods that permit direct investigation of the question.
c. Replicate and generalize across studies.
d. Develop rigorous and transparent peer-review processes.
d. Develop rigorous and transparent peer-review processes.
Which of the following pair of key measurement terms is NOT explained correctly?
a. Error and uncertainty: Error refers to the difference between the measured value and
the true one, while uncertainty is the doubt that exists about the result of any
measurement.
b. Accuracy and precision: If you make several measurements and find that they are
consistently higher than the actual value, then they are precise. If they agree closely with
the actual value, then they are accurate.
c. Repeatability and reproducibility: Repeatability describes the agreement within sets of
measurements where the same person uses the same equipment in the same way under the
same conditions. Reproducibility, on the other hand, describes the agreement within a set
of measurements where different people equipment, methods, or conditions are involved.
b. Accuracy and precision: If you make several measurements and find that they are consistently
higher than the actual value, then they are precise. If they agree closely with the actual value,
then they are accurate.
Which of the following is NOT one of the six guiding principles of measurement?
a. The right tools
b. The right people
c. Frequent external assessments
d. Demonstrable consistency
c. Frequent external assessments
