Which statement is true about the Insert Col function?

• A. It allows to specify date/time for a new column
• B. It changes the patient diagnosis
• C. It modifies medication orders
• D. It hides the column

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how you customize the chart view by adding a new column. In Epic, inserting a column lets you create an extra column in a grid or flowsheet and, importantly, you can set the date or time that this column corresponds to. That means the data shown in that column is tied to a specific point in time, making it easier to compare values across dates or time periods without changing any actual patient data. This action is strictly about how the information is displayed, not about editing diagnoses or orders. Changing diagnoses would be done in the problem list or notes, and modifying medication orders happens in the orders module. Hiding a column is a different UI action that simply removes the column from view, not adding or configuring data.
