AHIMA CDIP Exam Prep
Certified Documentation Integrity Practitioner (Page 2 )

• Correct answer: B — Schedule individual meetings with each low-performing physician.

• Targets the specific problem: addresses the two physicians with 19% and 64% CQI response rates directly, allowing tailored feedback and education.
• Facilitates understanding of barriers: lets the CDI advisor learn if issues are related to documentation, workflow, or query quality, and adjust coaching accordingly.
• Promotes accountability and improvement: sets clear expectations and a plan for improvement, with follow-up metrics.

• A (meeting with the chair): escalation, not targeted coaching; may overlook underlying individual issues.
• C (group meeting with all physicians): lacks personalization; may not effectively address each physician’s unique barriers and could be uncomfortable.
• D (meetings with all physicians): inefficient; wastes time and may single out others unnecessarily.

• Share individual CQI performance data, discuss specific examples, clarify query guidelines, and set SMART improvement goals.
• Provide resources and schedule a follow-up to assess progress in the next quarter.

• Create a record-triggered Flow on Opportunity.
• Run it when the record is created or updated.
• Add entry criteria such as Probability > 50%.
• Use Create Records to create the related Sales Demo Request, populating its Opportunity lookup.

• Apex Trigger: Possible, but unnecessary custom code for a straightforward automation requirement.
• Workflow Rule: Cannot create a related custom record.
• Process Builder: Could create a record, but Flow is Salesforce’s preferred and more capable declarative automation tool.

• A. A virtual network gateway
• D. A virtual network

• Azure virtual machines must be connected to an Azure virtual network (VNet). The VNet provides private IP addressing and network connectivity for the VMs.
• A virtual network gateway enables communication between the Azure VNet and the on-premises network, typically through a site-to-site VPN or ExpressRoute connection.

• Load balancer: Distributes traffic among Azure VMs; it does not connect Azure to an on-premises network.
• Application gateway: Provides web-application load balancing and Layer 7 routing; it is not the normal resource for on-premises connectivity.
• Gateway subnet: A gateway subnet is required inside the VNet when deploying a virtual network gateway, but the question’s intended two primary resources are the VNet and virtual network gateway.

• 6-phone boxes: 6x
• 8-phone boxes: 8x

• Self-signed certificate: Causes a certificate warning, not incorrect IP resolution.
• Nameserver record: A DNS record problem would typically affect multiple users, not just one.
• IP helper: Relays DHCP or other broadcast traffic between networks; it does not control website name resolution.

• Correct answer: A. System characterization

• Why the other options are not correct:

• Goal: Identify the host that originated the infection, then label each remaining host as infected or clean based on log evidence.

• Logs to review (across hosts and firewall):

• How to identify the origin:

• How to classify other hosts:

• Quick tip: use the Reset All option if you want to re-run the scenario and practice again.

• Correct answer: D) Amazon Aurora Serverless

• Aurora Serverless is serverless, so compute capacity scales automatically and can pause during idle periods. This minimizes ongoing administration and you pay only for actual usage, which is ideal for infrequent workloads.
• PostgreSQL on EC2 requires full OS and DB administration.
• RDS for PostgreSQL is managed but still involves provisioning capacity and some maintenance tasks.
• Aurora PostgreSQL (non-Serverless) is managed but requires you to manage capacity, though with some automation; it’s not as hands-off as Serverless for intermittent usage.

• AWS IoT Greengrass supports local ML inference using models trained in Amazon SageMaker.
• The model and inference code run on the factory’s local server, so processing continues even when internet connectivity is unavailable.
• A Greengrass component can:

• This provides low latency and avoids sending images to AWS for every inference.

• A: Uses AWS-hosted services and therefore depends on internet connectivity. It would fail during an outage.
• C: Snowball Edge is unnecessary for this use case and adds deployment complexity. A local Greengrass server is the intended edge-inference solution.
• D: Amazon Monitron is designed for monitoring industrial equipment health, not analyzing camera images with a custom SageMaker model.

• The stage has a default file format defined (e.g., when you create the stage with FILE_FORMAT = (...)), and Snowflake will use that default.

• You use a named file format attached to the stage, or you specify an inline format in the COPY command, e.g., COPY INTO my_table FROM @my_stage FILE_FORMAT = (TYPE = 'CSV');

• Use a stage default: omit FILE_FORMAT in COPY.
• Or rely on a named/inline format: specify FILE_FORMAT in COPY or set a format on the stage.

Simple explanation

• The Azure VPN gateway to connect to
• Authentication settings
• Routes for networks that the client can access

• B. Enable column profile — This turns on column profiling, which computes statistics like min and max for each column.
• C. Show column profile in details pane — This ensures the per-column profile is visible in the details pane.
• E. Enable details pane — This makes the details pane available so you can view the column profile there.

• A. Show column value distribution may help with distribution but isn’t specifically about min/max.
• D. Show column quality details shows data quality (valid/null counts), not min/max.

• A: True. You can change the size of a Virtual Warehouse after creation (via UI or ALTER WAREHOUSE).

• B: True. A warehouse can be resized while it’s running; the resize will take effect without needing to stop queries.

• C: True. A warehouse can be configured to suspend after a period of inactivity (AUTO_SUSPEND).

• D: True. A warehouse can be configured to auto-resume when new queries are submitted (AUTO_RESUME).

• Date: 2018-12-31
• Time: 08:59

• B: The original value contains the text at, so it cannot be converted directly to a date.
• A: The last characters contain the time, not the date.
• D: Extracting the first 11 characters can leave an unwanted space and does not properly separate the time component.

• The correct answer is “Think and work holistically” (Option B).

• Focus on value: ensures outcomes matter to stakeholders, but isn’t specifically about end-to-end delivery.
• Optimize and automate: about efficiency and performance, not the holistic view.
• Collaborate and promote visibility: about teamwork and sharing information, not the end-to-end scope.

• The correct option is B: AWS Storage Gateway.

• Why: The scenario requires backing up on-prem data to AWS without changing existing backup workflows. AWS Storage Gateway provides a hybrid storage solution; specifically, the Tape Gateway emulates a physical tape library, allowing your existing backup software to write to virtual tapes that are stored in AWS (in S3 or S3 Glacier). This lets you back up 10 TB to the cloud while preserving current backup workflows and on-prem infrastructure.

• How it would work: Deploy a gateway appliance or VM on-site, connect your tape-based backup software to the virtual tape library, and start writing to virtual tapes. The data is then archived in AWS, freeing up local storage.

• Why the others aren’t suitable:

• Quick tip: If you weren’t using tape, File Gateway could be another option for file-based backups; Tape Gateway is the right pick for tape-based workflows.

• Developed and maintained independently
• Deployed without changing the entire application
• Scaled separately based on demand
• More resilient when another service has problems

• A: Functional testing is useful, but it is not the main practice described.
• B: Automation helps deployment, but the scenario focuses on architectural decomposition.
• C: Multiple locations improve availability, not application modularity.

• Customers access the portal without needing a full Dynamics 365 license.
• They submit case information through portal forms.
• The submitted data is stored in Dataverse tables, such as the Case table.
• Security is controlled using web roles and table permissions, so customers can access only appropriate records.

• Dynamics 365 Connector — connects apps to Dynamics 365 data but is not the portal’s underlying data platform.
• Microsoft SharePoint — useful for documents and collaboration, not the standard case-management data source for portals.
• Microsoft Azure Storage — stores files or other data, but is not the native portal business-data platform.

• Use a field on Account to show the aggregated yearly shipments (a Roll-Up Summary).
• A Master-Detail relationship between Shipment and Account is required for Roll-Up Summary to work (and to ensure access is governed by the parent Account).
• OWD and the relationship type determine what users can see. If you want to restrict shipment-level access while still showing a summary on Account, Private OWD on Shipment plus Master-Detail helps, because access to shipments is controlled by the Account record.

• A (Public OWD on Shipment with Process Builder and a Lookup to Account): Not ideal. Public access would expose shipments broadly, and a lookup cannot support a built-in roll-up summary.
• B (Private OWD on Shipment, Roll-Up Summary, Master-Detail to Account): Best answer. Private shipments, but because of Master-Detail, access and the roll-up are tied to the Account. The Account can show the yearly total via a Roll-Up Summary field.
• C (Controlled by Parent on Shipment, Trigger, Master-Detail): Master-Detail is correct, but using a trigger is unnecessary for a straightforward roll-up; roll-ups are the standard, maintainable solution.
• D (Private OWD on Shipment, Trigger, Lookup to Account): More complex and not as efficient; no automatic roll-up, and lookup breaks the ease of summarizing by Account.

• Correct answer: C) After installing ES on the search head(s) and running the distributed configuration management tool.

• ES requires the Splunk_TA_ForIndexes.spl add-on on indexers to apply index-time configurations. It should be deployed via the distributed configuration management (DCM) flow after ES is installed on the search heads, so the indexers receive the proper configuration in a controlled, versioned bundle.

• A) Deploying when adding apps to the deployment server isn’t the ES-specific order; it bypasses the ES-instantiated workflow.
• B) Installing Splunk_TA_ForIndexes.spl first isn’t the recommended order; ES needs to be installed on the search heads first.
• D) It isn’t limited to indexer cluster sites or cluster master commands; the standard flow uses DCM to push the TA to indexers in general.

• The two correct options are:

• The two incorrect options:

• Answer: C — Spot Instances

• Why: The workload is a test environment that can be interrupted and does not need to run continuously. Spot Instances let you bid on unused EC2 capacity at a deep discount, making them the most cost-effective option for interruptible workloads.

• Why not the others:

• Quick tips:

• Answer: No.

• Why:

• If you need such an assessment while controlling costs, you’d generally pursue a paid MCS engagement or another option outside of the basic Premier entitlement.

• Strongest encryption algorithms: Choose the strongest available encryption and integrity options, typically AES with the largest key size and a secure integrity algorithm.
• Encrypt all traffic: Select tunnel mode rather than transport mode. Tunnel mode encrypts the entire original IP packet, which is appropriate for a site-to-site VPN between branch networks.
• Secret-password authentication: Configure a pre-shared key (PSK) on both VPN concentrators. The key must match at both ends.

• Assignment
• Decision
• Get Records
• Loop

• Screen flow: Would include a Screen element.
• Inactive version: Inactive status does not restrict the available elements.
• Activated version: Activation status also does not determine the toolbox contents.

• Event | search "error"
• Event | where EventType == "error"
• search in (Event) "error"

• The correct answer is D: All of the above.

• Snowflake Web Interface (UI): You can create and manage Virtual Warehouses from the UI (resize, suspend/resume settings, etc.).
• SQL commands: You can create and alter warehouses with DDL like CREATE WAREHOUSE and ALTER WAREHOUSE.
• Data integration tools: ETL/ELT tools can create/manage warehouses by connecting to Snowflake and issuing the appropriate commands or using their config to specify a warehouse.

• Custom domains
• 10 GB storage per web app
• Each app runs on dedicated compute
• Load balancing between instances is included
• Costs minimized

• Answer: A (Standard)

• Why:

• Note: In App Service, multiple apps in the same plan share compute resources. If you truly need isolation per app, you’d typically use separate App Service Plans, which increases cost beyond a single Standard plan.

• Idioma: “Responda em português.”
• Tamanho: “Responda em até três frases.”
• Formato: “Use uma lista com três recomendações.”
• Objetivo: “Recomende produtos com base nas necessidades do cliente.”

• Mudar o tamanho do LLM: pode alterar capacidade e custo, mas não garante idioma ou respostas curtas.
• Aumentar a temperatura: aumenta a criatividade e a aleatoriedade; não controla diretamente o tamanho ou idioma.
• Aumentar o Top K: permite considerar mais tokens prováveis, aumentando a variedade; também não é o mecanismo principal para controlar idioma ou comprimento.

• prompt: the input or instruction given to the model
• completion: the desired response

json 
{"prompt":"Summarize this customer complaint.","completion":"The customer reports a delayed shipment."}

• B: A .txt file containing CSV-style lines is not automatically a valid fine-tuning dataset. The required structure and format must match the selected Bedrock model.
• C: Provisioned Throughput provides dedicated inference capacity; it does not fine-tune a model.
• D: Journals and textbooks might support domain adaptation or pretraining, but they do not provide the prompt-to-answer examples typically required for supervised fine-tuning.

• Answer: B — Improve employee training and awareness

• Why this is correct:

• Why the other options are less effective here:

• Quick practical note:

• Basic: Self-help only; no technical support or design assessment.
• Developer/Standard: Technical support, but generally not the full proactive architecture guidance required here.
• Professional Direct: Includes proactive guidance and architecture recommendations.
• Premier: Also supports this, but is not the minimum-cost option.

• Why: If an application on EC2 needs to call other AWS services, using an IAM role (attached to the EC2 instance as an instance profile) provides temporary, automatically rotated credentials. This avoids embedding access keys in the application.
• How it works: Create a role with the minimum required permissions, attach it to the EC2 instance, and let the AWS SDK used by the application retrieve credentials from the instance metadata service. The credentials rotate automatically and are scoped to the policy you define.
• Why not other options:

• IKE: Negotiates security parameters for IPsec VPNs; it does not identify switch ports.
• VLAN: A logical network segmentation method, not a discovery protocol.
• netstat: Displays local network connections and listening services, but cannot identify the physical switch or port.

• Azure Resource Manager templates: Use ARM templates to define the VM infrastructure and baseline configuration as code. This ensures all Windows Server 2016 VMs are created with a uniform setup, minimizing manual configuration.

• PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) extension for Windows: DSC enforces a defined state across all servers and can automatically remediate drift. This keeps the VMs in the desired configuration with minimal ongoing admin effort.

• A separate scope using a /32 subnet: A /32 identifies one host, but it is not a practical DHCP scope for this purpose.
• A static IP within the DHCP range: This can cause an IP address conflict if DHCP assigns that address to another device.
• SLAAC: Used for automatic IPv6 address configuration, not for assigning a predictable IPv4 address through DHCP.

Flat organisation

• Few levels of management
• A wide span of control—managers supervise many employees
• Shorter communication channels
• More employee autonomy and quicker decisions
• Fewer formal promotion levels

Tall organisation

• Many levels of management
• A narrow span of control—managers supervise relatively few employees
• A clear hierarchy and reporting structure
• More formal supervision and communication channels
• More obvious promotion and career stages

• IaaS: You deploy and manage virtual machines, operating systems, disks, and networking. Azure manages the physical datacenter and host infrastructure.
• PaaS: Azure manages the operating system and runtime so you can focus on deploying applications, such as with Azure App Service or Azure Functions.
• SaaS: You consume a complete, provider-managed application.

• B — Prompts and suggestions retained for 28 days
• C — User engagement data kept for two years

• The key distinction is between content data—your prompts, code context, and generated suggestions—and engagement data, such as usage activity.
• Do not confuse retention with training: enterprise Copilot data is generally not used to train GitHub’s models without appropriate authorization.
• For a current exam, verify the policy version cited by the exam provider. The key’s C is likely correct, but B should be treated cautiously and may no longer reflect the current policy.

• IPsec: Protects traffic at the network layer, commonly for VPNs; it is not WPA2’s authentication protocol.
• SSL: Protects specific application sessions and has largely been replaced by TLS.
• SSH: Secures remote command-line administration.

• Correct answer: Power BI dataset

• The scenario says the data model already contains several measures and you want to create a report from the existing data with minimal development. Reusing a published Power BI dataset lets you inherit the existing measures and data model, so you don’t have to recreate them.
• How to do it: In Power BI Desktop, use the connector Power BI datasets (Get Data > Power BI datasets) and connect to the existing dataset, then build visuals using the pre-defined measures.
• Why the other options are less suitable:

Why

cmd 
PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File C:\Scripts\ConfigureVM.ps1

Why the other options are less suitable

• GPO logon script: Runs only when a user logs on and may not run during initial VM provisioning.
• GPO startup script: Can work, but requires the VM to be joined to the domain and the policy to be applied. It is also normally evaluated at each startup.
• Place scripts in a VHD: Merely placing scripts on a disk does not cause them to execute.

• Drop violating frames
• Log or alert on the violation
• Shut down or restrict the port

• Load balancer: Distributes application traffic; it does not control switch MAC learning.
• IPS: May detect some network attacks but is not the primary control for switch MAC-table exhaustion.
• NGFW: Protects traffic crossing network boundaries, while MAC flooding occurs at the switching/LAN layer.

1. Download the updated VPN client configuration package from the Azure VPN gateway.
2. Remove or update the existing VPN client configuration on the Windows 10 workstation.
3. Install the new package and reconnect.

• You normally do not create a new sensitive information type for credit card numbers. Microsoft Purview already provides a built-in Credit Card Number sensitive information type.
• The required sequence should generally be:

• Multiple nodes: Data is replicated several times in the primary region.
• Separate geography: A copy is asynchronously replicated to a secondary Azure region.
• Readable secondary: RA-GRS provides read-only access to the secondary replica, even when the primary region is available.

• GRS: Replicates to another region but the secondary copy isn’t normally readable.
• ZRS: Replicates across availability zones in the same region, not a separate geographic region.
• LRS: Keeps replicas within a single datacenter or region and provides no geographic redundancy.

• Disabling GPS: Affects location services, not email connectivity.
• Configuring 4G usage only: Does not enable international data access and could prevent connectivity if 4G is unavailable.
• Connecting using a hotspot: Could provide data, but it is not the most direct solution and depends on another network or device.
