Which of the following actions would you take to document a time-specific entry in the flowsheet?

• A. Insert Col
• B. Add Col
• C. Compact
• D. Hide Comp'd

Answer: (A)

The aim is to place data at a specific point in time on the flowsheet. Flowsheets in Epic are laid out with columns that denote time slots or discrete moments. By inserting a column, you create a new time slot exactly where you need it, so the entry you document is tied to that specific time. This makes the chart reflect when the event occurred and keeps related data aligned with the correct timestamp.

Adding a column would simply add another data field without guaranteeing the new column corresponds to the desired time slot. Compacting changes how the view is displayed but doesn’t create a new time point, and hiding completed items affects visibility rather than enabling time-specific documentation.
