1. A parent wants to use AI before their child's follow-up appointment for a new medication. What is the primary value AI provides in this context?

   1. It organizes observations and generates a prioritized list of questions to ask the prescriber
   2. It determines whether the current medication dosage is correct
   3. It contacts the pediatrician's office on the parent's behalf
   4. It diagnoses new symptoms the child is experiencing

2. A parent has been observing their child on a new medication for 6 weeks. Which deliverable would be appropriate to request from an AI tool?

   1. A definitive answer on whether the medication is working
   2. A direct message to the pediatric office stating the child should be taken off the medication
   3. A 1-page symptom and side-effect log paired with 8 prioritized questions covering efficacy, side effects, timing, monitoring, alternatives, and exit criteria
   4. A written prescription for an alternative medication

3. What should a parent do when AI-generated questions suggest the child is experiencing new or worsening symptoms?

   1. Post the symptoms in a parent forum to get others' opinions
   2. Contact the pediatric team directly rather than relying on the AI's suggestions
   3. Continue tracking symptoms and ask the AI what to do next time
   4. Ask the AI to adjust the medication dosage

4. A parent asks an AI chatbot whether they should increase their child's medication dose based on continued symptoms. What is the appropriate AI response?

   1. The AI should say the medication clearly isn't working and recommend stopping it
   2. The AI should provide a second opinion based on the symptoms described
   3. The AI should decline to give dosage advice and instead generate questions about dosing to ask the pediatrician
   4. The AI should recommend a specific dosage increase

5. When an AI tool surfaces potential questions about medication alternatives, how should a parent interpret this output?

   1. As suggestions that can be acted on without consulting a doctor
   2. As a list of alternatives the parent can choose from immediately
   3. As questions to discuss with the pediatrician, not as authorization to make changes
   4. As definitive information that one alternative is better

6. What specific request should parents make to the pediatrician regarding next steps in medication management?

   1. Request a prescription for backup medications
   2. Request the decision criteria for next steps in writing
   3. Ask the pediatrician to let the AI make future decisions
   4. Ask the pediatrician to stop explaining and just make the decisions

7. A parent notices their child has developed a new side effect after starting medication. Using AI, what is the safest first step?

   1. Ask the AI to diagnose whether it's a serious side effect
   2. Contact the pediatric team directly about the new symptom
   3. Search online parent groups for similar experiences
   4. Wait until the next scheduled appointment to mention it

8. What type of information should parents organize before using AI to help prepare for a pediatrician visit?

   1. A summary of what the parent wants the pediatrician to prescribe
   2. Symptom logs, observed side effects, and specific observations over time
   3. A list of demands for the pediatrician
   4. The parent's personal medical opinions about the medication

9. Why is it important that AI-generated output includes 'exit criteria' questions for a pediatrician visit?

   1. So parents can tell the doctor to end the appointment quickly
   2. So parents know under what conditions it would be appropriate to consider stopping or changing the medication
   3. So parents can prepare to argue with the doctor about continuing treatment
   4. So parents have a checklist to dismiss the doctor's concerns

10. A parent uses AI to generate questions about medication timing. What is the educational value of asking these questions?

    1. Getting permission to change the timing without doctor approval
    2. Learning whether other children take the medication at the same time
    3. Understanding when the medication is most effective and how it fits into daily routines
    4. Finding out if the AI thinks the schedule is wrong

11. When AI organizes side-effect observations into a structured format, what is the ultimate purpose of this output?

    1. To prove the parent is right about the medication causing problems
    2. To replace the need for the parent to speak with the doctor
    3. To generate a complaint to file against the prescriber
    4. To help parents ask informed questions about side-effect management

12. A parent asks an AI whether their child's medication is 'working.' What can AI legitimately provide?

    1. A comparison to how other children on the same medication are doing
    2. A percentage estimate of how well the medication is working
    3. Questions to help evaluate efficacy that the prescriber should answer
    4. A definitive yes or no about whether the medication works

13. What is the danger of treating AI-generated medication questions as answers rather than questions?

    1. Parents will become too reliant on doctors
    2. Parents might act on unverified information instead of seeking professional guidance
    3. The pediatrician will refuse to see the patient
    4. The AI will stop working properly

14. Why should questions about 'monitoring' be included in AI-generated pediatrician visit prep?

    1. To give the parent permission to monitor the doctor instead of the child
    2. To understand what signs to watch for and when to seek help or schedule follow-up
    3. To create a schedule for the AI to check in on the child's symptoms
    4. To prove the doctor isn't monitoring the child properly

15. A parent uses AI to compile 6 weeks of symptom observations. What should they do with the resulting document?

    1. Bring it to the pediatrician as a discussion foundation
    2. Use it to self-diagnose without seeing a doctor
    3. Post it on social media to get community feedback
    4. Email it to the AI for a second opinion
