AI for Patient Education Materials Quiz

Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.

1. What reading level do health literacy guidelines commonly recommend for AI-drafted patient handouts?
   • College level
   • Tenth to twelfth grade
   • Sixth to eighth grade
   • Second grade
2. What is a key limitation of readability formulas like Flesch-Kincaid when checking an AI handout?
   • They measure sentence and word length, not accuracy or cultural fit
   • They only work on printed documents
   • They need a physician's license to run
   • They measure accuracy but not length
3. What does AHRQ's PEMAT evaluate in patient education materials?
   • Printing cost and paper quality
   • Understandability and actionability
   • Search engine ranking
   • Copyright status
4. Why should the prompt tell the AI to use only a vetted source?
   • To make the handout longer
   • To raise the reading grade level
   • Because AI cannot read guidelines
   • To keep the model from adding unverified or outdated content
5. Under the 2024 Section 1557 rule, what is required when machine translation is used for critical content?
   • Nothing, because machine translation is exempt
   • Only a disclaimer at the bottom of the page
   • Review by a qualified human translator
   • Approval by the software vendor
6. Why does the guide suggest expressing risk as '1 in 10 people' instead of a percentage?
   • Many readers find natural frequencies easier to understand
   • Percentages are banned in patient materials
   • Natural frequencies lower the Flesch-Kincaid score to zero
   • AI models cannot calculate percentages
7. Why should AI translations be back-translated and tested with native speakers?
   • Because AI translation is always perfect
   • Translation quality varies and is weaker for languages with less training data
   • Because back-translation shortens the text
   • To qualify for a readability certificate
8. Which is an example of simplification turning into inaccuracy?
   • Replacing 'edema' with 'swelling in your legs or feet'
   • Using headings and short bullets
   • Writing sentences addressed to 'you'
   • Dropping 'unless your doctor told you otherwise' from an instruction
