Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 202
Describe the most efficient way to have the same question appear for all the diagnostic imaging procedures.
CORRECT ANSWER
Link the procedure category for those imaging tests to the question.
RATIONALE
Linking the procedure category to the question ensures that all diagnostic imaging tests share a common framework,
promoting consistency and efficiency in data management. This approach streamlines the retrieval of relevant
information across multiple procedures, enhancing clarity and reducing redundancy.
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 202
In the procedure category for Lab Sent Outs, two buttons are set up for CLASS. However, when users order the
iron assay (a procedure linked to this category), four buttons display for CLASS. Explain why.
CORRECT ANSWER
The system searches for details using the procedure hierarchy, so it finds the four buttons defined in the iron
assay procedure record and displays them.
RATIONALE
Procedure hierarchy allows the system to retrieve specific buttons associated with the iron assay, overriding the
default two-button setup for CLASS. This demonstrates how procedural records can expand or modify user interface
elements based on linked attributes.

, Q3 QUESTION 3 OF 202
Users complain that when they order diagnostic imaging tests for ANY patient, the question "Is the patient
pregnant?" appears. What setup is wrong?
CORRECT ANSWER
The linked question record should have been limited to females of an appropriate age.
RATIONALE
Linking the pregnancy inquiry to all patients rather than confining it to females of reproductive age leads to
unnecessary prompts for those who are not relevant, indicating a lack of appropriate filtering in the electronic health
record system. This reflects a failure in clinical decision support design to tailor questions based on patient
demographics and clinical context.
Q4 QUESTION 4 OF 202
There is a lab test for which you have specified a default order class. For this order, you want to hide the CLASS
field in the order composer so users do not change the class. Describe how to do this.
CORRECT ANSWER
Create an OCC record that does not include the CLASS as a display item, and link the procedure to that OCC.
RATIONALE
Hiding the CLASS field in the order composer involves creating an Order Class Configuration (OCC) that omits the
CLASS display item, ensuring that users cannot modify it during order entry. This maintains the integrity of the order
process by preventing unauthorized changes to critical parameters.
Q5 QUESTION 5 OF 202
If questions should only not be displayed from both the procedure and the procedure category, what can be
done?
CORRECT ANSWER
This can be overridden so that only procedure-level questions display.
Page 3
, RATIONALE
Overriding the default settings allows for the selective display of procedure-level questions, ensuring that only
relevant queries are presented within the specified context. This approach enhances focus and clarity by filtering out
unnecessary categories that might dilute the learning experience.
Q6 QUESTION 6 OF 202
If you list Glucose as a Result Component in a procedure record, how does that affect the user who results this
test?
CORRECT ANSWER
In Enter/Edit Results, the user sees the component by default, thus saving documentation time.
RATIONALE
Including glucose component in a procedure record allows the user to view it automatically during the Enter/Edit
Results process, streamlining documentation and enhancing efficiency. This feature minimizes the need for manual
input, thereby reducing potential errors and saving valuable time in clinical workflows.
Q7 QUESTION 7 OF 202
Orderable procedures must be linked to what in order for them to be looked up in order entry?
CORRECT ANSWER
Procedure Category
RATIONALE
Linking orderable procedures to a Procedure Category enables efficient organization and retrieval in order entry
systems, facilitating streamlined access for healthcare providers. This categorization ensures that procedures are
systematically grouped, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of clinical decision-making.
Q8 QUESTION 8 OF 202
Procedures Link to a Result Component are listed as what?
CORRECT ANSWER
Orderable and Performable
