1. When AI drafts a DKA insulin transition narrative, what is its primary organizational task?

   1. Structuring gap closure, bicarbonate, and overlap timing into a defensible sequence
   2. Replacing all clinical judgment with automated decisions
   3. Generating new research findings about insulin protocols
   4. Eliminating the need for resident oversight of transitions

2. What critical patient risk emerges if the insulin drip is discontinued before subcutaneous insulin reaches peak effect?

   1. Severe lactic acidosis
   2. Rapid rebound into ketosis overnight
   3. Hypoglycemic coma
   4. Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state

3. Why must the overlap window between intravenous and subcutaneous insulin be verified with direct observation rather than assumptions?

   1. Because the lesson explicitly requires this verification
   2. Because assumptions about timing can lead to gaps in insulin coverage and rebound ketoacidosis
   3. To satisfy documentation requirements for accreditation
   4. To calculate precise billing codes

4. Which stakeholder-related decision falls outside AI's capability when drafting transition narratives?

   1. Determining which team members need separate conversations before the document circulates
   2. Identifying missing clinical data points in the narrative
   3. Restructuring raw notes into coherent paragraphs
   4. Highlighting inconsistencies in the insulin protocol

5. What does AI do particularly well when processing raw notes about DKA insulin transitions?

   1. Replaces the resident's role in defending decisions on rounds
   2. Surfaces unresolved questions that inputs imply but the draft glosses over
   3. Makes final treatment decisions without physician input
   4. Eliminates the need for clinical review

6. A well-structured DKA transition narrative should include which of the following elements?

   1. A list of billing codes and insurance pre-authorizations
   2. A philosophical discussion of diabetes etiology
   3. The patient's complete medical history
   4. A one-paragraph headline framing, substantive points with caveats, and explicit decisions for reviewer resolution

7. What type of concerns can AI NOT adequately address when drafting clinical transition narratives?

   1. Data organization and restructuring
   2. Political, ethical, or relational considerations
   3. Consistency checking against protocols
   4. Numerical dosing calculations

8. What is the purpose of a 'bridge summary' in DKA insulin transition documentation?

   1. To summarize the patient's entire hospital course
   2. To connect the IV insulin drip to subcutaneous insulin in a clinically sound sequence
   3. To bridge communication between AI and physicians
   4. To transition the patient from one hospital to another

9. When reviewing an AI-drafted transition narrative, what explicit element should the reviewer resolve before sign-off?

   1. The patient's breakfast preferences
   2. A philosophical statement about diabetes care
   3. The weather forecast for discharge day
   4. Two explicit decisions or asks that require resolution

10. What makes a transition narrative 'decision-ready' for rounds?

    1. It organizes key clinical elements into a coherent summary that supports decision-making
    2. It is longer than five pages
    3. It contains all possible information about the patient
    4. It is typed in bold font

11. What clinical parameter is explicitly organized within a DKA insulin transition narrative?

    1. Bicarbonate levels
    2. Shoe size
    3. Favorite food preferences
    4. Blood type

12. What happens when an AI-drafted transition narrative 'glosses over' implied but unresolved questions?

    1. The patient is automatically discharged
    2. Critical clinical gaps may go unaddressed until rounds
    3. The document becomes more polished
    4. The AI has successfully resolved all issues

13. In the context of DKA management, what does 'gap closure' refer to?

    1. Closing a hospital bed
    2. Scheduling discharge planning
    3. Ensuring continuous insulin coverage during transition from IV to subcut
    4. Closing the electronic health record

14. The resident must be able to 'defend' the transition narrative on rounds primarily because:

    1. It is hospital policy to memorize all narratives
    2. The narrative represents clinical decisions that require justification to the care team
    3. Defense is required by hospital lawyers
    4. Rounds are formal debates

15. What is the consequence of failing to verify the overlap window between insulin drip and subcut insulin?

    1. The AI system will crash
    2. The patient may experience rebound ketoacidosis overnight
    3. The hospital cafeteria will run out of food
    4. The billing will be delayed
