NBRS-4983: Update APP5 medication and allergy wording
Updated the wording from "MAY be used" to "IS used" to provide clearer guidance on the resource's intended use and reduce ambiguity.
Replaced “novel medications” with “medications administered or prescribed during the latest assessment and not available on existing records”. Replaced “novel allergies” with “new allergies”. Updated MedicationStatement guidance from “MAY be used” to “IS used” to clarify the intended use of the resource and remove ambiguity.

Updated the formatting of the medication and allergy requirements by bolding must to align with other mandatory requirements in the implementation guide. No changes to the requirement wording or functionality.
