What type of questions can be found in the NGN format?

The NGN format features a diverse array of question types designed to assess critical thinking and real-world application of nursing knowledge. This includes multiple-choice questions, which are a traditional assessment format, but it also encompasses case studies that require deeper analysis of patient scenarios, and interactive questions such as drag-and-drop tasks that engage examinees in practical decision-making processes. This variety aims to mimic clinical practice and evaluate a candidate's ability to apply their knowledge in dynamic situations, reflecting the realities of nursing care.

This comprehensive approach to questioning is particularly important as it not only tests rote memorization of facts but also evaluates how candidates can synthesize information, make clinical judgments, and manage patient care effectively. Other options do not reflect the full scope of the NGN's question types, as they are limited to traditional formats or overly broad categories that do not capture the essence of the format’s innovations.
