1. What does an AI system do when it checks medicines at a pharmacy?

   1. It gives patients their medicine directly
   2. It calls the doctor to ask about prescriptions
   3. It warns if two medicines might cause a problem together
   4. It decides which medicine is best for a patient

2. After the AI flags a potential problem with two medicines, what does the pharmacist do?

   1. Throws away both medicines
   2. Ignores the warning and gives out both medicines
   3. Asks the patient which medicine to take
   4. Calls the doctor to discuss the issue

3. Why is it better to have THREE checks (AI, pharmacist, and doctor) rather than just ONE check?

   1. Because computers are always correct
   2. Because patients demand three checks
   3. Because doctors are too busy to check everything themselves
   4. Because different people and tools can catch different problems

4. In the pharmacy safety system, what is the doctor's main job?

   1. Operating the AI computer system
   2. Putting medicine bottles on shelves
   3. Counting pills at the end of the day
   4. Deciding if there's a safer choice when a problem is found

5. What would happen if ONLY the AI checked medicines, without pharmacists and doctors?

   1. Problems might be missed because no human makes final decisions
   2. Everything would work perfectly
   3. Medicines would be given faster
   4. Patients would never have any problems

6. A pharmacist receives an AI warning that two medicines might not work well together. What should they do FIRST?

   1. Give both medicines to the patient right away
   2. Ask the patient to come back tomorrow
   3. Call the doctor to discuss the warning
   4. Delete the warning from the computer

7. Which person makes the FINAL decision about what medicine a patient should take?

   1. The AI computer
   2. The pharmacist
   3. The patient
   4. The doctor

8. Why is it important that pharmacists are involved in checking medicines, not just AI?

   1. AI systems cannot work without a pharmacist watching
   2. Pharmacists are needed to turn on the computers
   3. Pharmacists are cheaper than AI systems
   4. Pharmacists can use their training to think about each patient's unique situation

9. If an AI system says two medicines are safe to take together, can the pharmacist skip calling the doctor?

   1. No, because doctors need to stay busy
   2. No, because the pharmacist should always double-check
   3. Yes, because AI is always right
   4. Yes, because the patient already wants those medicines

10. What happens if the doctor decides there is a safer medicine choice?

    1. The doctor prescribes a different medicine
    2. The patient gets the original medicines anyway
    3. The pharmacist ignores the doctor
    4. The patient must pay more money

11. A friend tells you that AI at the pharmacy does everything by itself — it checks medicines AND decides what to give patients. What's wrong with this thinking?

    1. AI works without any electricity
    2. AI is only used in hospitals, not pharmacies
    3. AI only suggests checks; humans make the final decisions
    4. AI actually delivers the medicines to patients

12. What is the MAIN benefit of having both AI AND a pharmacist check medicines?

    1. AI catches things humans might miss, and humans catch things AI might miss
    2. It makes the pharmacy look more modern
    3. It allows the pharmacist to take longer breaks
    4. It makes medicines cheaper

13. When might the pharmacist decide NOT to call the doctor after an AI warning?

    1. Never — the pharmacist should always call the doctor to double-check
    2. When the pharmacy is closing soon
    3. When the patient begs not to call
    4. When the pharmacist is very tired

14. Why can't the AI simply replace the pharmacist and doctor?

    1. Because AI doesn't understand the full picture of a patient's health
    2. Because AI hasn't been invented yet
    3. Because patients don't trust computers
    4. Because computers are too expensive

15. In the safety system described, what should happen if the doctor cannot be reached?

    1. Give only one medicine
    2. Wait and try again later or find another doctor
    3. Sell the patient vitamins instead
    4. Give the medicines anyway
