The document provides guidance on understanding multiple choice questions for exams. It discusses the components of a multiple choice question including the case/scenario, stem, distractors, and correct response. It emphasizes reading the full question carefully, identifying keywords and time frames, eliminating implausible options, and applying knowledge to arrive at the answer. The document also reviews cognitive levels for exam preparation and provides examples of how to study and apply different levels of thinking.
In 2002, NANDA changed its name to NANDA International (NANDA-I) to further reflect the worldwide interest in nursing diagnosis. In the same year, Taxonomy II was released based on the revised version of Gordon’s Functional health patterns.
As of 2018, NANDA-I has approved 244 diagnoses for clinical use, testing, and refinement.

Nursing Student Remediation Made Easy with Embedded AssessmentExamSoft
Presented by Laura Logan, MSN, RN, CCRN, Instructor, DeWitt School of Nursing at Stephen F. Austin State University
Nursing curriculum is rigorous, daunting, and uncompromising. Nursing educators know how important it is that students be able to digest and apply the curriculum to each course assessment, end of the course standardized exam, and especially to the bedside. Furthermore, these assessments within the nursing curriculum are preparations for the national exam, and one more way to help students succeed on the NCLEX.
Reviewing incorrectly answered items, asking probing questions to the student after the exam, and reviewing with students best strategies for exam preparation based on testing performance have helped achieve student academic growth. This webinar will assist the nursing educator with remediation tactics using ExamSoft features to accomplish this outcome.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

1. Understand Parts of a Multiple
Choice Question
1. Case (Scenario)- Description of the patient and what is
happening.
2. Stem- That part of the question that asks the question.
3. Distractors- Incorrect but feasible choices.
4. Correct Response- The answer to the question.
2. SAMPLE QUESTION:
Case Scenario:
A patient who is visibly upset says to the
nurse. “I want to talk with the head nurse,
no, get me the supervisor and the director
of nursing and the owner of the hospital. I
am mad.”
Stem: The best initial response for the nurse to
make is:
Distractors: A. “Whom do you wish to see first?”
B.“Don’t be angry.”
C.“Why do you want to talk to them
when I can help?”
Correct Answer D. “You seem upset.”
3. ANSWER
A. “Whom do you wish to see first?”
Incorrect. Does not promote communication and does not
allow exploration and understanding of the issue.
B. “Don’t be angry.”
Incorrect. Discounts feelings and does
not promote communication.
C. “Why do you want to talk to them when I canhelp?”
Incorrect. Places the patient on the defensive. Does not
defuse the situation.
D. “You seem upset.”
Correct. The nurse uses the technique of paraphrasing.
Acknowledges the patient’s feelings. Promotes Communication .
4. CARDINAL RULES OF
TEST-TAKING
•Read all instructions carefully.
•Read all test questions carefully. (Stem)
•Answer only what is being asked; do not read
into a question anything beyond what is there.
•Pace yourself.
•Make sure you answer all of the questions on
the exam.
5. READING THE QUESTION
1. Paraphrase the question: What is the
question asking for in your own words?
(Stem)
2. What are the key words in the question?
3. What is the time frame?
4. What are the answering options?
6. KEY WORDS
Patient—Factors such as age, sex, and marital status
may be relevant.
Age of a child may be very relevant.
Who is the client—the patient, family or maybe
even a staff member.
Problem/Behavior– the problem may be a disease,
symptom or a behavior.
Details of the Problem– e.g. duration of disease,
symptom, or behavior.
7. TIME FRAME
Whenever time is mentioned…it is important.
Early vs. Late
Pre Operative vs. Post Operative
Surgical Day
8. ANSWERING OPTIONS
• •Try to answer the question before looking at the
• answers.
••Come up with the answer in your head before looking
at the possible answers.
• •Read all the choices.
• •Recall class lectures.
• •If all else fails, use an educated guess.
9. EDUCATED GUESS STRATEGIES
Always use the process of elimination as a first step.
Beware of negative terms such as none, not , and
never.
When you are undecided between two answers, try to
express each in your own words. Then analyze
the differences between the two.
Use logic and common sense to reason out the correct
answer.
10. ELIMINATE OPTIONS
Read all of the distracters.
Eliminate distracters that are clearly incorrect.
With the elimination of each distracter, you increase
the probability of selecting the correct option by 25%.
11. FOR INSTANCE IF YOU STUDY
THE FOLLOWING
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a condition
wherein a blood clot forms in a vein of the deep
system. DVTs can occur anywhere in the body, but
are most frequently found in the deep veins of the
legs, thighs, and pelvis. They may infrequently arise
from the upper extremities usually because of trauma,
or from an indwelling catheter (tubing) or device.
12. PRIOR TO NURSING
SCHOOL
1. Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is:
a. blood clot in lungs
b. varicose veins in lower extremities
c. vasoconstriction of veins in legs
d. blood clot in extremities.
13. NURSING SCHOOL
2. The nurse is caring for a patient who had a
(kō-lə-sis-tek-tə-mē ) cholecystectomy 12 hours
ago.
To prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) the
nurse will teach the patient to… :
1. Keywords?
2. Time Frame?
3. Your First Response?

17. NURSING EXAMS
Exams not only test how much you remember or
understand about a subject.
They are also designed to test your ability to think at the
five higher cognitive levels. See examples.
Thinking like a nurse is essential to safe and competent
nursing practice at the entry level.

COGNITIVE LEVELS
EXAMPLE: STUDYING MEDICATIONS:
FUROSEMIDE (LASIX)
Remembering: Memorize the classification of
Furosemide (Lasix).
Understanding: Develop an understanding of the
action of Furosemide (Lasix).
Applying: Identify specific patient situations where
Furosemide (Lasix) would be used; Identify specific
patient situations requiring the care of the patient
receiving the medication.
20. HOW TO PREPARE FOR NURSING EXAMS
USING THE COGNITIVE LEVELS
EXAMPLE: STUDYING MEDICATIONS:
