Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Physicians will count clicks and do not want to be stopped during order entry unless it is necessary. An overuse of alerts will cause alert fatigue.

ANS: A
It is best to avoid Monday as the go-live date because it is usually one of the busiest days for healthcare providers.
