1. In the TIME framework for wound assessment, what does the 'M' represent?

   1. Margin evaluation
   2. Moisture balance
   3. Medical history
   4. Measurement tracking

2. A wound care clinician dictating observations into a system receives a notification that 'depth measurement is missing.' Which AI capability is being demonstrated?

   1. Generating treatment plans
   2. Automated wound staging
   3. Flagging missing required elements
   4. Analyzing tissue color

3. A nurse sends a smartphone photo of a wound to an AI system and receives an automated staging classification. What is the most critical concern with this approach?

   1. The AI may not have access to the patient's medical history
   2. Lighting and angle can distort wound appearance, leading to incorrect staging
   3. AI systems cannot detect infection
   4. The AI lacks ability to measure wound dimensions

4. Which task must ALWAYS be performed by the wound clinician and cannot be delegated to AI?

   1. Reformatting dictated notes into structured format
   2. Flagging missing documentation elements
   3. Deciding the appropriate debridement approach
   4. Carrying forward measurement trends from previous visits

5. A structured wound progress note should include all of the following EXCEPT:

   1. Wound dimensions
   2. Patient's social history
   3. Peri-wound skin condition
   4. Current dressing type

6. What is the PRIMARY role of AI in wound care documentation as described in the lesson?

   1. Selecting dressing products automatically
   2. Determining wound infection from photos
   3. Translating verbal observations into structured notes
   4. Replacing in-person wound assessments

7. The 'I' in the TIME framework represents 'Infection/inflammation.' Which clinical finding would fall under this component?

   1. Thin serous drainage
   2. Slough covering 30% of wound bed
   3. Granulation tissue present at wound edges
   4. Redness and warmth surrounding the wound

8. A clinician documents that a wound has 'increased from 2.1 cm x 1.5 cm to 3.2 cm x 2.4 cm over two weeks.' Which AI function would most benefit from this information?

   1. Staging the wound automatically
   2. Carrying forward measurements and trends
   3. Flagging documentation gaps
   4. Suggesting antibiotic therapy

9. Which statement about AI and wound photography is MOST accurate?

   1. Smartphone photos provide sufficient detail for AI to determine debridement needs
   2. Photos should never be used as the sole basis for AI wound analysis
   3. AI analysis of photos eliminates the need for in-person assessment
   4. AI can reliably stage wounds from standardized photos

10. A structured wound note includes 'pain level: 6/10 with dressing change.' Which documentation component does this fulfill?

    1. Treatment plan
    2. Pain assessment
    3. Peri-wound skin assessment
    4. Exudate description

11. What makes the TIME framework useful for AI-assisted documentation?

    1. It allows AI to automatically determine wound stage
    2. It provides a standardized structure that AI can learn to populate
    3. It enables AI to select appropriate debridement methods
    4. It eliminates the need for clinical measurements

12. A wound care clinic implements AI to generate progress notes from clinician dictations. What should the clinicians understand about the AI system's role?

    1. The AI will make final decisions about treatment changes
    2. The AI will organize observations but staging calls come from clinicians
    3. The AI will determine wound stage based on verbal descriptions
    4. The AI will identify infection without physical examination

13. Which of the following is considered a 'missing required element' that AI might flag in wound documentation?

    1. Patient's favorite color
    2. Hospital cafeteria menu
    3. Clinician's lunch break time
    4. Wound location

14. The lesson emphasizes that AI should not replace what aspect of wound care?

    1. Computerized record-keeping
    2. Scheduling appointments
    3. In-person assessment
    4. Billing submission

15. In the TIME framework, assessment of the wound EDGE relates to which of the following?

    1. Callus formation at wound margins
    2. Odor
    3. Drainage amount
    4. Epiboly (rolled edges) or undermining
