[2025-10-01T16:03:40.718368] [PI reasoning] **Determining tests for exclusion**

I’m thinking about how to answer the question, “Test to exclude a disease.” This likely relates to the term “sensitivity,” which describes a test's ability to rule out disease when negative. The negative predictive value also matters, but it's influenced by disease prevalence. Generally, for exam questions about ruling out a disease, high sensitivity is essential. So, I’m leaning toward option D as the correct choice. I should gather evidence to support this reasoning. Maybe we should look that up!
