1. Where do nurses perform the majority of their documentation for an inpatient in Epic?
A. Narrative Notes
B. MAR (Medication Administration Record)
C. Flowsheets activity
D. Care Plan Activity
☑ Correct Answer:
☑ Explanation: The Flowsheets activity is the primary location for efficient, structured data
entry in Epic, where nurses document vital signs, intake/output, and assessments. This tabular

administration, narrative notes capture free-text clinical narrative, and care plans document the
patient's plan of care.

2. What is used to organize different types of documentation and appears as tabs within the
Flowsheet activity?
A. Groups
B. Rows
C. Templates
D. Topics
☑ Correct Answer: C
☑ Explanation: Flowsheet templates serve as the tabs visible to clinicians. They organize
and group similar categories of documentation together, such as a "Vitals" tab or "Neuro
Assessment" tab. Templates allow clinicians to navigate between different documentation areas
efficiently.
3. Groups and Rows are records in which master file?
A. FLT (Flowsheet Template Master File)
B. FLO (Flowsheet Master File)
C. EAF (Episode Master File)
D. EPT (Patient Master File)

☑ Correct Answer: B
☑ Explanation: The FLO (Flowsheet) master file contains the records for both Groups
(organizers) and Rows (data fields). This distinguishes it from the FLT master file, which
manages Templates. Understanding the distinction between FLT and FLO is fundamental for
flowsheet configuration.
4. What is used to organize individual documentation flowsheet rows and appears as a darker
row color/bold font in the Flowsheet activity?
A. Template
B. Row
C. Topic
D. Group
☑ Correct Answer: D
☑ Explanation: A Flowsheet Group visually segments rows in the Flowsheets activity. They
act as headers (bold/dark background) that logically group related individual data points (rows)
, 4
together, such as grouping "Heart Rate," "Respiratory Rate," and "SpO2" under a "General
Vitals" group.
5. In what order should you build a flowsheet in Epic?
A. Template → Groups → Rows
B. Rows → Groups → Template
C. Groups → Rows → Template
D. Template → Rows → Groups
☑ Correct Answer: B
☑ Explanation: Epic flowsheets are built from the bottom up. You must design and build
the individual Rows (FLO) first, embed them inside a Group (FLO), and then place those Groups
onto a Flowsheet Template (FLT) for clinical display. Starting with rows ensures all data
elements exist before organizing them.
6. What is the master file for the patient record in Epic?
A. PAT
