CORRECT ANSWER: List some details set when rules are attached to a department.
"(1 AND 2) OR 3" - entered after choosing Custom Evaluation Logic button in the Cascading
Flowsheet section - CORRECT ANSWER: If you have 3 conditions listed & want cascade to
trigger if either both lines 1 & 2 are true or if line 3 is true, what (& where) would you enter?
{5;D}+({5;S}-{5;D})/3 (where '5' is the Foundation record ID number) - CORRECT ANSWER:
How is mean arterial pressure stored in Epic?
{blood pressure row ID number;D} - CORRECT ANSWER: To enter values for diastolic blood
pressure, what formula would you use?
{blood pressure row ID number;D} for diastolic; {blood pressure row ID number;S} for systolic
(these are stored as 2 values within 1 row) - CORRECT ANSWER: How is BP built in Epic?
0- no restrictions (if left blank, this is the default)
1- database only
2- facility only (not used often)
3- database & facility (common) - CORRECT ANSWER: What are the restriction types you can
use to limit user searches?
1- Create LDA Property Rows
,2- Create the Properties Group record; attach the standard properties plus any additional from
step 1
3- Create the Over-Time Assessment Rows used to document ongoing assessments of the LDA
4- Create the LDA Group record; attach Properties record & all of the ongoing assessment rows.
- CORRECT ANSWER: In what order do you build an LDA Group? (*note: shell placeholder
groups are not needed)
1- create or copy the f/s template containing the groups you want to override for certain users
2- open the group & override the rows that will appear for the new template
3- attach the new template to the user's profile (if this is a default template) &/or add it to the f/s
preference list affecting this user - CORRECT ANSWER: How do you override default rows by
user?
1- the profile preference list must include all templates needed becasue they will not be able to
use the Selection button to search
2- if you forget to assign a pref list in their profile, their tabs & default settings are liited; they
will likely receive the message "Flowsheet template selection is disabled for this user." -
CORRECT ANSWER: If you choose to apply both database & facility restrictions, what

1. make a plan- decide who needs to see which flowsheets

3. create a preference list
4. attach the preference list to a profile, location, service area, or facility record - CORRECT
ANSWER: List the steps to create a flowsheet preference list.
, 1. Plan out your build
2. Create a navigator configuration record
3. Duplicate/create a navigator section record
4. Produce remaining navigator records in Hyperspace using the Navigator Template Editor &
assemble the navigator
5. Test your work - CORRECT ANSWER: Steps to build a flowsheet navigator section.
1. Plan- what flowsheet data should display
2. Create PAF columns for those that do not exist in Foundation
3. Make columns available to users
-managing column groupers
-adding column groupers to a profile
4. Test your build - CORRECT ANSWER: What are the steps to build a PAF Column?
1. Plan- what is required & when should it be documented?
2. Create a rule using Rule Editor
3. Attach rule to Department Rule Editor or System Definitions
4. Test your build - CORRECT ANSWER: List the required documentation build steps.
1. profile record
2. location
3. service area
4. facility records - CORRECT ANSWER: Where can a preference list be attached/assigned?
700- placement date
701- placement time
702- removal date
