WGU D330 DATA SYSTEMS
ADMINISTRATION TWO PRACTICE
EXAMINATION 2026 QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ version control.
Answer: the process whereby a healthcare facility ensures that only the most
current version of a patient's health record is available for viewing,
updating, and so forth
◍ data standards.
Answer: allow us to share data in a uniform way
◍ Social engineering.
Answer: normally low tech attacks used to trick individuals into disclosing
information, providing access, or changing their patterns. Examples include
phishing, spear-phishing (i.e. targeted phishing), dumpster diving, baiting,
tailgating, and quid pro quo.
◍ data definition.
Answer: the specific meaning of a healthcare-related data element. Allows
everyone to interpret and collect the data in the same way
◍ parallel method.
Answer: the development cycle begins with planning and analysis, and the
project team developing a high level design of the system. They then divide
the project into smaller sub-projects that they develop and implement
parallel with each other
◍ Structured Query Language (SQL).
Answer: A computing language that is used with relational databases.
,◍ Convergence.
Answer: the ability for a telecommunication network to carry voice, data,
and video
◍ virus.
Answer: propagates by inserting a copy of itself into and becoming part of
another program. It spreads from one computer to another
◍ Environments.
Answer: A CASE software that combines tools and workbenches to support
the entire system development life cycle (SDLC); the most common CASE
tool.
◍ Development methodologies that allow for the reuse of objects.
Answer: Component-based development and object-oriented development
◍ Semantic interoperability.
Answer: use of standardized terminologies (such as SNOMED-CT) to
provide clarity, consistency, and appropriate meaning in HIE
◍ Business ecosystems.
Answer: Network of businesses involved in delivering a product through
mutual cooperation.
◍ Spoofing.
Answer: The creation of Internet Protocol (IP) packets with a false source IP
address, for the purpose of hiding the identity of the sender or impersonating
another computing system; elicits a response from the network.
◍ Referential Integrity.
Answer: Table relationships must always be consistent; for an entity or
object to exist in a table, an equal value must exist in the referenced table;
the primary and foreign keys must be equal.
◍ Clinical Information Systems.
Answer: collects and stores medical, nursing, clinical ancillary areas (such
as radiology and laboratory), and therapy department information related to
, patient care
◍ Types of relationships in a relational database model.
Answer: One-to-One, One-to-Many, and Many-to-Many
◍ Mashup.
Answer: Occurs when software is mixed and matched to develop a
customized application
◍ data manipulation.
Answer: allows the user to add and delete rows in a table and to sort, find,
and compare
◍ Private Industrial Network.
Answer: A single organization that controls the construction and
maintenance of relationships for a relatively small number of other
organizations.
◍ Threats.
Answer: identified and unidentified actors that have the potential for
attacking the information assets. (Internal, External)
◍ Source systems.
Answer: information systems that capture and feed data into the EHR.
Includes the electronic medication administration record (EMAR),
laboratory information system, radiology information system, etc.
◍ physical data model.
Answer: shows how the data are physically stored within the database. The
users are not involved with this level of the database because of its technical
complexity.
◍ data repository.
Answer: open-structure database (not dedicated to the software of any
particular vendor or data supplier) in which data from multiple ISs are
stored so that an integrated, multidisciplinary view of the data can be
achieved in a single source. Updated in real time
