A nurse wanted a screening test that was very sensitive in determining who might have a particular illness. What might be a problem with using such a sensitive test? (Select all that apply.)
 
  a. Many persons have true negative test results.
  b. Persons who test negative are able to celebrate their healthy state.
  c. Persons who do not have the illness are told that they might, which leads to anxiety, as well as time and cost of follow-up diagnostic tests.
  d. Such a test may have lower specificity, so some persons with the disease are told they are disease free and hence do not receive care.
  e. There is no problem; it is best to use the most sensitive screening test available.
  f.
  Persons who have the disease are notified and receive treatment.
