1. What is the PRIMARY purpose of using AI to draft perinatal-loss bedside scripts in this care context?

   1. To serve as a word-for-word script that must be read exactly as written
   2. To lower cognitive load for healthcare providers before they enter the patient's room
   3. To automatically predict which grief rituals the family will prefer
   4. To replace the chaplain or bereavement specialist at the bedside

2. A 24-week perinatal loss bedside script generated by AI would typically include which of the following elements?

   1. A prediction of exactly how the family will grieve over the next 12 months
   2. Memory-making offers such as footprints, handprints, or photographs
   3. A pre-written diagnosis that cannot be modified for the specific case
   4. A statement that the healthcare team does not care about the patient

3. According to the concepts covered in this lesson, what is a key limitation of AI in perinatal-loss conversations?

   1. AI cannot predict the family's grief trajectory or preferred rituals
   2. AI cannot be used to document the conversation afterward
   3. AI cannot access medical terminology databases
   4. AI cannot generate trauma-informed phrasing for sensitive topics

4. Which healthcare professional is described as CARRYING the perinatal-loss bedside conversation in this lesson?

   1. The IT department support staff
   2. The chaplain, social worker, or bereavement specialist
   3. The AI system generating the script
   4. The hospital administrator on call

5. In this care context, the AI-generated script is best understood as:

   1. A final document that should not be modified once generated
   2. A legal document that protects the hospital from liability
   3. A flexible starting point that requires human judgment to deliver
   4. A substitute for family meetings with the care team

6. A perinatal-loss follow-up referral bundle would most likely include which of the following?

   1. A recommendation to schedule another pregnancy immediately
   2. Information about lactation support resources and grief counseling services
   3. A referral to a different hospital in another state
   4. A bill for the AI-generated script preparation time

7. Why is it important that a human—rather than AI—delivers the bedside conversation about perinatal loss?

   1. AI-generated scripts contain errors that require human correction
   2. AI systems are not advanced enough to speak clearly in patient rooms
   3. Human providers can read the script aloud with appropriate emotional tone and respond to family cues
   4. Hospitals have not purchased the necessary AI hardware for bedside use

8. Which statement best reflects the appropriate relationship between AI-generated scripts and bereavement care in this lesson?

   1. AI can draft scripts but cannot replace the human presence required for true compassion
   2. AI should review all bereavement conversations after they occur to grade the chaplain's performance
   3. AI-generated scripts eliminate the need for any training in difficult conversations
   4. AI-generated scripts should be used as the sole communication tool to ensure consistency

9. If an AI system suggested a memory-making activity that conflicts with a family's known cultural or religious beliefs, what should the caregiver do?

   1. Use the AI suggestion anyway since it was generated by the system
   2. Decline to offer any memory-making options to avoid conflict
   3. Ignore the family's beliefs and follow standard hospital protocol
   4. Adapt the approach based on the family's specific values and preferences

10. The lesson notes that AI is particularly capable of rendering trauma-informed phrasing. Which of the following best illustrates this capability?

    1. Generating language that acknowledges the loss while offering sensitive memory-making options
    2. Diagnosing the cause of perinatal loss without any human review
    3. Automatically selecting which family members should be present in the room
    4. Calculating the exact cost of burial or cremation services

11. A chaplain is preparing for a difficult conversation with a family who just experienced a 24-week loss. How might they appropriately use an AI-generated script according to this lesson?

    1. Read the script verbatim without any changes to ensure consistency
    2. Use it as a framework but adapt the language based on the family's specific needs and emotional state
    3. Memorize the script to recite it like a robot without pauses
    4. Discard the script entirely since AI cannot understand grief

12. Which of the following would represent an inappropriate use of AI in perinatal-loss bereavement care based on this lesson?

    1. Relying on AI to decide whether to offer autopsy discussion to a specific family
    2. Using AI to draft initial conversation scripts for provider review
    3. Having AI format the follow-up referral information for the family
    4. Using AI to generate a list of available grief counseling resources

13. What does the lesson identify as something AI can do WELL in perinatal-loss care?

    1. Mirror the bereavement-program follow-up bundle in the script
    2. Predict which family members will have the strongest emotional reactions
    3. Decide which rituals the family should perform
    4. Determine the exact timeline for when the family should leave the hospital

14. Why might a bereavement specialist find an AI-generated script useful even though they will not read it verbatim?

    1. The script ensures the family receives identical information to other families
    2. The script can organize thoughts and ensure key topics are not forgotten
    3. The script provides legal protection if the family files a complaint
    4. The script automatically schedules follow-up appointments

15. In the context of a 24-week loss, which element requires the MOST sensitive framing by the human caregiver, with AI providing only initial language support?

    1. The cafeteria menu options
    2. The visiting hours for the hospital unit
    3. The hospital parking validation process
    4. Autopsy discussion framing
