Summary
The National Council of State Boards of Nursing explored new NCLEX test questions. Participants shared their experiences and strategies for engaging with these innovative items.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Assessment and Evaluation
Background:
- The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) is researching innovative test questions for the NCLEX.
- Preliminary studies are investigating the feasibility of incorporating novel item types.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore participant reactions to various innovative test question types.
- To understand the strategies used by candidates when interacting with new item formats.
Main Methods:
- Preliminary research conducted by NCSBN.
- Focus on participant feedback and interaction strategies with innovative items.
Main Results:
- This article details participant responses to novel NCLEX item formats.
- Identifies strategies employed by test-takers for engaging with innovative questions.
Conclusions:
- Understanding candidate interaction is crucial for implementing new NCLEX item types.
- Further research will analyze item templates and cognitive demands in Part 2.

01:27Nursing Clinical Information System
Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:

01:15Nursing Evaluation
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

01:29Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
01:15Nursing Implementation
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

01:25Formulating and Validating Nursing Diagnosis II
Nursing diagnoses represent a problem validated by major defining characteristics. There are four categories of nursing diagnoses: problem-focused, risk, health promotion or wellness, and syndrome. The anatomy of a nursing diagnosis includes three components: problem statement or diagnostic label, defining characteristics, and related factors.
Risk nursing diagnoses represent clinical judgments of an individual, family, or community more vulnerable to developing the health problem than others...

01:21Methods of Documentation III: PIE
Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:
