Want to know how to answer multiple-choice questions in nursing? 
 🙋🏿‍♀️🙋🏾‍♂️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏿‍♂️

Use these test-taking strategies:

1️⃣READ the full question in its ENTIRETY. Highlight 🔅key words and information that are important. 

Words like: 
⚠️HIGHEST
⚠️PRIORITY
⚠️FIRST
⚠️INITIAL
⚠️IMMEDIATE
⚠️MOST

2️⃣ASK yourself: What exactly is this question asking me? and WHY is it asking me this? 🤔

Translate the question in your head🗣 and think about the core concepts that you are being tested on (e.g. Risk factors for diabetes, nursing interventions for COPD, clinical manifestations of depression, evaluating teaching for asthma)

3️⃣DON'T follow your GUT instinct. I know a lot of test takers advise you to do this...but instincts don't get you to pass nursing exams. CRITICAL THINKING 💭and CLINICAL JUDGMENT 🤔does!  

You may have an initial "feeling" about knowing the right answer, but INSTEAD of following your gut, BE LOGICAL!!!! 🧠

Read through ALL the answer options in its entirety BEFORE you choose your answer🔎. There may be a good answer, but there may be a BEST answer from the options provided!

4️⃣If you're stuck between 2 options, you have probably inadvertently imposed some additional facts to the question or you're missing some key information🤷🏽‍♀️. 

GO BACK🔙 to the question stem and ask yourself again....👉🏽What is this question designed to test me on? How does the answer option relate to that?

🚨PROF TIP🚨
Multiple choice exams are not easy😳...it TAKES PRACTICE! So do as many low-stake quizzes or practice questions beforehand to fine-tune your test-taking skills💯

Hope that helps!!!
