The statement is true because medication reconciliation is a crucial step in ensuring patient safety during transfers and discharges. It involves comparing the medications a patient was taking before admission with the medications prescribed during their stay to identify any discrepancies, such as omissions, duplications, or dosing errors. By reviewing each medication prior to transfer or discharge, healthcare providers can ensure that the patient's medication list is accurate and up-to-date, reducing the risk of adverse drug events and improving continuity of care.

The given statement is true. Creating Smart Phrases can indeed save time while charting if you frequently use the same phrases and sentences.

Sharing your user id and password with a co-worker is not okay because it violates basic security principles. Your user id and password are personal and confidential information that should only be known and used by you.

It is important to maintain the confidentiality of your login credentials to protect your personal and professional information from potential misuse or security breaches.

To ensure that your orders are released and active, it is necessary to sign them. Signing the orders indicates your acknowledgment and agreement with the terms and conditions mentioned in them.

The most efficient way in Epic to indicate that you have completed a consult order is by opening the patient chart, writing your consult note, associating the note with the consult order, and signing your note. This ensures that the consult note is linked to the specific consult order and can be easily accessed and reviewed by other healthcare providers involved in the patient's care. Discharging the patient is not directly related to completing a consult order and may not provide the necessary documentation and communication required for comprehensive patient care.

The answer is a required field where text or a value must be manually entered or the asterisks deleted. This is because the question states that three asterisks (***) indicate a required field where text or a value must be manually entered or the asterisks deleted.

In Epic, when you need to make a change or addition to a filed note, it is called "Adding an Addendum." This means that you are adding new information or making a revision to an existing note without altering the original content.

Clicking "MARK AS REVIEWED" for patient allergies, PTA Meds, and/or Patient History means that you have reviewed and confirmed the documented information with the patient or the patient's representative.

When entering an order for a tapered medication, the appropriate option to select is "Followed By." This indicates that the medication should be administered in a tapering manner, gradually reducing the dosage over a specified period of time. This is commonly done to prevent withdrawal symptoms or to gradually wean a patient off a medication. The other options, "Or" and "Either Or," do not convey the specific instruction of tapering the medication.

The Rounding Navigator is the correct answer because it is the navigator that is used to update a patient's orders during their inpatient stay. Rounding typically refers to the process of healthcare professionals, such as doctors or nurses, making daily rounds to check on patients and make any necessary adjustments to their treatment plans or orders. Therefore, the Rounding Navigator would be the most appropriate option for updating a patient's orders during their inpatient stay.

A stop sign in a field typically indicates that it is a required field, meaning that it is mandatory to stop at that location. Stop signs are used to regulate traffic and ensure safety, so it is important for drivers to obey them. Therefore, the correct answer is "A required field."

The correct answer is to use the Smart Text Templates that have been created by your specialty. This is because Cooper's expectation is that you will utilize these templates to ensure consistency and efficiency in your daily progress or consult notes.

When you pend a note that you were writing, it means that the note is saved or put on hold temporarily without being shared or visible to anyone else. Therefore, only you, as the author of the note, can see it.

The Medication Warnings Window is the correct answer because it is the specific tool within the Epic system that alerts users to potential issues with medication orders. It automatically checks new orders against existing orders for interactions with other medications, food, and allergies, as well as checks for dosing of medications, duplicate therapies, contraindications, and IV compatibility. If a potential issue is identified, the Medication Warnings Window will display a warning message, prompting the user to take appropriate action.

To change the details of an order, you can click on the blue Summary Sentence to open the Order Composer. This suggests that there is a specific option or feature within the Order Composer that allows you to modify the details of the order. This option is likely more efficient and simpler than deleting the order and re-entering it or selecting order entry and writing an additional order.

When changing the form of a medication, it is necessary to manually discontinue the original order before entering the new order. This ensures that the old order is properly terminated and no longer active in the system. By manually discontinuing the original order, healthcare providers can accurately track and manage medication changes, preventing any confusion or errors that may arise from having multiple active orders for the same medication.

The correct answer is to use the order set in one of the Navigators: Admit, Transfer, Rounding, Consult, or Discharge. This means that in order to place Transfusion and Restraint orders, you need to utilize the order set within one of these specific Navigators. It is not necessary to use Order Entry, Call Admissions, or the Preference List for this purpose.

Patients will automatically fall off your personal "My List" but must be manually removed from the "System List". This statement is false. In reality, patients will not automatically fall off your personal "My List". They will remain on the list until they are manually removed. However, patients may be automatically removed from the "System List" based on certain criteria or actions, such as being discharged from the hospital or completing their treatment.

The Problem List is not solely the responsibility of the nurse to complete. It is a collaborative effort among the healthcare team, including physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals, to document the patient's ongoing medical issues. While nurses play a crucial role in updating and maintaining the Problem List, it is not their sole responsibility.

The Facility List Tab is the correct answer because when a healthcare professional who is not a Pediatrician or Neonatologist needs to order a pediatric or neonatal dose of a medication, they can refer to the Facility List Tab. This tab provides a comprehensive list of medications and their appropriate doses for pediatric and neonatal patients. It ensures that the healthcare professional selects the correct dose based on the patient's age, weight, and medical condition, promoting safe and effective medication administration. The Preference List, Smart Sets, and Order Entry options may not specifically cater to pediatric and neonatal doses, making the Facility List Tab the most suitable choice.

The correct answer is "The clinician who is responsible for the order." This is because the authorizing provider is the clinician who has the authority and responsibility to approve and authorize the order. They are ultimately responsible for the decision and outcome of the order. The other options, such as the clinician who gave the order or the resident who entered the order, may be involved in the process but they are not the ones ultimately responsible for authorizing the order.

When entering a medication as "patient supplied," you must click on the "Additional Order Details" hyperlink. This option allows you to provide additional information about the medication, such as dosage instructions, quantity, or any specific instructions related to the patient's use of the medication. This helps in ensuring accurate and comprehensive documentation of the patient-supplied medication.

The medications from the Medication List in the Review PTA Medications section are a combination of prescriptions from previous encounters and patient-reported medications.
