1. What is the primary clinical advantage of using AI to draft massive transfusion protocol narratives during active trauma resuscitation?

   1. AI can eliminate the need for viscoelastic testing like TEG during resuscitation
   2. AI can guarantee that all stakeholder conversations happen before the narrative is distributed
   3. AI can restructure raw trauma notes into a coherent, decision-ready summary the team can verify
   4. AI can autonomously decide which blood products to administer without human oversight

2. A trauma team receives an AI-generated MTP summary that omits recent TEG (thromboelastography) results showing severe coagulopathy. What is the most significant risk?

   1. The AI will automatically correct its mistake in the next draft
   2. The team may continue resuscitating without recognizing a treatable coagulopathy
   3. The team will have too much information to process effectively
   4. The missing TEG data will trigger an automatic blood product change

3. When reviewing an AI-drafted MTP narrative, what are TWO explicit decisions the reviewer must resolve before sign-off? (Select the option that correctly identifies both requirements.)

   1. Whether the narrative is formatted correctly and whether spell-check was run
   2. Who needs to receive the document and whether any conversations must happen first
   3. Which blood product ratios to approve and which lab trigger thresholds are acceptable
   4. Whether to use the AI again and whether to credit the AI author

4. What does it mean for an AI-generated MTP narrative to 'surface unresolved questions' that the inputs imply?

   1. The AI should automatically answer all implied questions based on its training data
   2. The AI should hide any uncertainties to present a confident narrative
   3. The AI should defer to the most senior physician for all decisions
   4. The AI should explicitly highlight gaps or missing information that require human judgment

5. Which of the following best describes what AI can reliably accomplish when drafting an MTP narrative?

   1. AI can decide which family members should be contacted about the resuscitation
   2. AI can read the room and understand political or ethical dynamics affecting the trauma team
   3. AI can predict the final patient outcome based on the input data
   4. AI can restructure raw clinical notes into a coherent, decision-ready summary

6. A trauma surgeon asks an AI to draft an MTP narrative. The AI produces a summary with a headline framing, three substantive points with caveats, and two explicit decisions. Why is this structure clinically valuable?

   1. It eliminates the need for any further human review
   2. It ensures the AI has properly diagnosed the patient
   3. It provides a standardized format that clinicians can quickly verify and act upon
   4. It guarantees compliance with all hospital policies

7. Why is it insufficient to simply accept an AI-generated MTP narrative without careful review, even if it appears well-organized?

   1. AI narratives always contain factual errors that are obvious
   2. AI-generated narratives cannot be edited once created
   3. The narrative may omit critical data (like TEG results) or fail to address stakeholder considerations that AI cannot assess
   4. The review requirement is purely bureaucratic and adds no clinical value

8. What type of concerns is an AI UNABLE to appropriately address when generating MTP documentation, even if those concerns are embedded in the input notes?

   1. Technical questions about how the AI processed the data
   2. Analytical concerns about lab values and product ratios
   3. Questions about the chronological order of events in the trauma bay
   4. Political, ethical, or relational considerations that require reading the room

9. In the context of damage-control resuscitation, what is the purpose of including 'caveats' in an AI-generated MTP narrative?

   1. To argue against using certain blood products
   2. To explicitly note limitations or uncertainties that the reviewer must consider
   3. To satisfy legal requirements for medical documentation
   4. To make the document longer and appear more comprehensive

10. A nurse notices that the AI-generated MTP summary includes product ratios and lab triggers but does not mention that the patient's religion forbids certain blood products. What is the most likely reason for this omission?

    1. The AI determined the information was not clinically relevant
    2. AI cannot identify ethical or relational considerations that require contextual awareness
    3. The information was not in the raw input notes provided to the AI
    4. The AI automatically includes all relevant ethical considerations

11. What should happen when an AI-generated MTP narrative 'glosses over' unresolved questions implied by the input data?

    1. The AI should be retrained on trauma data
    2. The reviewer should identify those gaps and ensure they are addressed before sign-off
    3. The glossed-over questions should be considered resolved
    4. The narrative should be discarded and started from scratch

12. Which of the following statements accurately reflects AI's role in MTP narrative drafting?

    1. AI can determine the optimal timing of family updates
    2. AI can generate a draft for human review but cannot ensure all stakeholders are prepared
    3. AI always includes viscoelastic results when they are available
    4. AI can replace the trauma surgeon in making transfusion decisions

13. A quality improvement team is reviewing AI-generated MTP narratives. They find that narratives consistently omit TEG results when those results arrive mid-resuscitation. What is the recommended corrective action?

    1. Continue using the AI as is since it handles the majority of the summary
    2. Replace AI with manual note-taking entirely
    3. Modify the AI workflow to ensure TEG results are incorporated or flag the gap explicitly
    4. Train clinicians to manually add TEG results before using the narrative for decision-making

14. Why might an AI-generated MTP narrative be clinically useful even though it requires human verification?

    1. AI generates perfect summaries that never need changes
    2. AI is legally responsible for the content
    3. AI eliminates the need for any clinical judgment
    4. AI can organize complex data faster than humans, reducing cognitive load during high-stress resuscitation

15. A trauma center implements AI drafting for MTP narratives. During the first month, they notice that AI-generated narratives frequently miss updated lab values that arrive after the initial draft. What systemic fix would best address this issue?

    1. Blame the AI vendor for the error and demand a refund
    2. Implement a workflow where AI generates updated narratives when new critical lab data arrives, with human review
    3. Accept that AI will always miss some data and lower expectations
    4. Require physicians to manually re-enter all data into the AI for each update
