1. Which five components should be organized into a post-operative delirium prevention plan?

   1. Breathing exercises, physical therapy, bloodwork, imaging, and patient education
   2. Sleep, mobility, hydration, medication review, and family presence
   3. Infection control, sedation, mobility, spiritual care, and staffing ratios
   4. Vital signs, wound care, pain management, nutrition, and discharge planning

2. What is the primary strength of AI when drafting a post-operative delirium prevention narrative?

   1. Making final clinical decisions about patient care
   2. Determining which family members should be contacted
   3. Restructuring raw notes into a coherent, decision-ready summary
   4. Identifying which nurses should receive the handoff

3. An AI-drafted plan exists in the electronic chart but is not included in nursing handoff reports. What is the most likely outcome?

   1. The night nurse may never see the plan because it wasn't communicated verbally or in handoff
   2. The plan will be flagged as incomplete and rejected by quality assurance
   3. The AI will automatically redistribute the plan to the night shift
   4. The night nurse will automatically see it via the chart alert system

4. What should an AI-drafted delirium prevention narrative include to ensure it is actionable for the care team?

   1. A one-paragraph headline framing, three substantive points with caveats, and two explicit decisions requiring reviewer resolution
   2. A list of all possible delirium risk factors for the patient
   3. A detailed justification of why certain medications were chosen
   4. A brief apology for any documentation delays

5. What type of questions can AI surface that might otherwise be overlooked in a drafted delirium prevention plan?

   1. Questions about the nurse's personal preferences for patient care
   2. Questions about unit staffing levels for the next quarter
   3. Questions about the patient's insurance coverage
   4. Questions that the inputs imply but the draft glosses over

6. Why is it important to rewrite an AI-drafted delirium prevention plan as handoff prompts rather than paragraphs?

   1. Because the AI cannot write in complete sentences
   2. Because paragraphs are too long to fit in the electronic medical record
   3. Because paragraphs require physician co-signature but prompts do not
   4. Because handoff prompts ensure critical information reaches the oncoming nurse during shift change

7. Which of the following is a limitation of AI when drafting post-operative delirium prevention narratives?

   1. AI cannot decide which stakeholders need a separate conversation before the document lands
   2. AI cannot access the patient's medical history
   3. AI cannot identify patients at risk for delirium
   4. AI cannot organize multiple prevention strategies into a coherent format

8. What type of concerns can AI NOT appropriately handle when drafting clinical narratives?

   1. Analytical concerns about medication dosages
   2. Documentation formatting concerns
   3. Technical concerns about the electronic medical record system
   4. Political, ethical, or relational concerns that require reading the room

9. Before an AI-drafted delirium prevention plan can be officially signed off, what must happen?

   1. The AI must be re-run with updated patient data
   2. The two explicit decisions or asks must be resolved by the reviewer
   3. The plan must be approved by the hospital administrator
   4. The patient must sign informed consent

10. A nurse reviews an AI-drafted delirium prevention plan and notices the draft does not address the patient's known hearing impairment. What should the nurse recognize?

    1. The AI intentionally omitted this information to simplify the plan
    2. The AI failed because it cannot access patient history
    3. The AI should be reported to the compliance department
    4. The AI surfaced an unresolved question that the inputs imply but the draft glossed over

11. What is required to make an AI-drafted delirium prevention plan visible to the night shift nurse?

    1. The plan must be communicated in the handoff report or converted to handoff prompts
    2. The plan must be printed and placed at the nursing station
    3. The plan must be uploaded to the hospital intranet
    4. The plan must be co-signed by the attending physician

12. When an AI drafts a delirium prevention narrative, what does it do BEST?

    1. Replace the clinical judgment of the healthcare team
    2. Make final decisions about patient care without human oversight
    3. Organize and restructure existing information into a decision-ready format
    4. Automatically distribute the plan to all relevant staff

13. What does the lesson suggest about the format of an AI-drafted delirium prevention plan when it will be used for shift handoff?

    1. It should be converted into structured handoff prompts
    2. It should be converted to a flowchart diagram
    3. It should be written as flowing narrative paragraphs for readability
    4. It should be summarized in a single bullet point

14. The AI produces a delirium prevention plan that includes sleep, mobility, hydration, medication review, and family presence. However, the clinical team hesitates to implement it. What is the MOST likely reason based on the lesson?

    1. The plan was not co-signed by the pharmacist
    2. The plan uses medical jargon that patients cannot understand
    3. The plan lacks the two explicit decisions or asks requiring reviewer resolution
    4. The plan was not written in the patient's preferred language

15. A unit implements an AI-drafted delirium prevention plan but finds that night shift nurses are not following the interventions. What went wrong?

    1. The night shift nurses were not included in the original AI training
    2. The plan existed in the chart but was not included in handoff communication
    3. The AI drafted interventions that were not evidence-based
    4. The AI made the plan too complex for practical implementation
