How to use "False" in context?
positives
false positives happen when a test incorrectly identifies something as being the presence of a disease or substance when it is not. False positives can cause significant damage to a patient's reputation and even mean they may have to take unnecessary medical measures. This is particularly important to remember when it comes to tests for cancer, as even a very small amount of cancer could cause a false positive and lead to unnecessary treatments.
