Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of multiple-choice questions in assessing the clinical judgment abilities of prelicensure registered nursing students. Nurse educators are responsible for ensuring fairness in testing and evaluating the development of clinical judgment abilities of students throughout the nursing program of study. This study compared multiple-choice test items developed using the current NCSBN® NCLEX-RN test item writing guidelines to multiple-choice test items developed using the new guidelines proposed by the NCSBN® Next Gen NCLEX-RN® project.
