Abstract

Multiple-choice examinations (MCEs) are commonly used to evaluate nursing students. Nurse educators require support to develop questions and engage in postexam analysis to ensure reliable assessment of student learning. We surveyed nurse educators and conducted focus groups to investigate current writing practices associated with MCEs. Using appreciative inquiry, participants proposed ideals to strengthen MCE practice: guidelines and expectations for faculty, faculty-developed test banks, team development, and an assessment blueprint at the curriculum level. Faculty supports are necessary to strengthen current MCE practices and best utilize the skills of educators.
