1. A hospital is implementing AI tools to support organ donation requests. What is the most appropriate use of AI in this workflow?

   1. Replacing the OPO coordinator during the actual family meeting
   2. Generating rehearsal dialogues that practice separating donation language from end-of-life language
   3. Determining when a family is emotionally ready to be approached about donation
   4. Making the final decision about whether donation should be requested

2. Which of the following elements is NOT something AI can appropriately handle in organ donation conversation preparation?

   1. Creating a checklist of family decision-makers and their relationships
   2. Drafting a template listing known prior wishes of the patient
   3. Generating an opening line for the donation requester to rehearse
   4. Assessing whether the family has developed sufficient trust to proceed

3. Why must donation conversations be strictly decoupled from death-disclosure conversations?

   1. Because legal regulations prohibit discussing donation within 24 hours of death disclosure
   2. Because mixing these conversations harms families emotionally and reduces donation consent rates
   3. Because AI cannot generate scripts that handle both topics simultaneously
   4. Because families cannot process two types of medical information simultaneously

4. In the context of organ donation, what does the term 'decoupling status' refer to in a pre-approach huddle?

   1. The process of separating the medical team from the donation coordination team
   2. Whether the death disclosure conversation has already occurred with the family
   3. The legal classification of the patient's authorization for donation
   4. The timeline for when the organs must be recovered after death

5. An AI system generates a script that begins with 'I'm so sorry to tell you your loved one has died, and we would like to discuss organ donation.' What is the primary problem with this script?

   1. It uses inappropriate emotional language for a clinical setting
   2. It lacks the religious and cultural considerations required by law
   3. It conflates death disclosure with donation request, which harms families
   4. It uses first-person authorization terminology incorrectly

6. What information should be included in a six-line pre-approach huddle template for the donation team?

   1. Family structure, known prior wishes, decoupling status, religious/cultural considerations, language needs, and opening line rehearsal
   2. Medical cause of death, time of death, and ICU bed availability
   3. Insurance coverage details, hospital billing code, and OPO contact information
   4. Patient's blood type, organ compatibility scores, and nearest recipient hospitals

7. What does 'first-person authorization' mean in organ donation terminology?

   1. The donor's prior registered decision to donate, which legally overrides family objection
   2. The first paragraph of the consent form
   3. The initial verbal consent given by the next of kin
   4. The moment when the family first speaks to the donation coordinator

8. Which scenario represents an inappropriate use of AI in organ donation conversation preparation?

   1. Using AI to decide whether the timing is right to approach the family
   2. Using AI to practice different phrasings of a donation request
   3. Using AI to summarize the patient's prior donation registration status
   4. Using AI to generate questions a family might ask about donation

9. What role does the OPO coordinator play that AI cannot replicate?

   1. Generating template documents for the medical team
   2. Calculating organ匹配 probabilities for recipients
   3. Reviewing the patient's medical record for donation eligibility
   4. Being physically present at the family meeting to build trust and guide the conversation

10. A donation team is preparing to approach a family. They use an AI tool to generate a huddle note that includes religious considerations, language needs, and family hierarchy. What else should be included to make the huddle complete?

    1. The number of organs available and their storage conditions
    2. The hospital's budget for donation-related expenses
    3. The patient's complete medical history and current lab values
    4. Whether death disclosure has occurred and an opening line to rehearse

11. What is the primary purpose of 'rehearsal dialogues' in AI-supported donation request preparation?

    1. To generate a transcript that can be shown to families
    2. To enable clinicians to practice separating donation language from end-of-life language
    3. To allow the AI system to practice its own conversation skills
    4. To create legal documentation of the consent discussion

12. Why is it important to document language needs in the pre-approach huddle?

    1. To ensure proper medical interpreters are available for the conversation
    2. To determine if the family can afford translation services
    3. To select which language the consent form will be printed in
    4. To verify the patient's primary language for medical records

13. In the context of organ donation, what is a 'donation request'?

    1. The formal document a patient signs to register as a donor
    2. The conversation in which a trained professional asks a family to consider donation
    3. The hospital's internal checklist for donation protocol
    4. The administrative process of matching organs to recipients

14. What is the primary risk when AI scripts blur the line between death disclosure and donation requests?

    1. Medical record documentation errors
    2. Family emotional harm and reduced donation consent
    3. Legal liability for the hospital
    4. Insurance claim rejections

15. Why is it essential to identify family decision-makers in the pre-approach huddle?

    1. To ensure the correct person signs the consent form
    2. To assign medical proxy documentation
    3. To determine inheritance distribution
    4. To understand who has authority and who may influence the decision
