Ask AI to explain vital signs in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
Give it one detail from "Nurse: AI Helpers in This Career" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
Check sepsis against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
