| ==The Design of the Questions==
| |
| ====The Stem of the Question====
| |
| *The questions are preferred to be narrated as a clinical vignette that is not an actual case.
| |
| *The information as well as the illustrations should serve the testing point.
| |
| *Below are some of the information that can be found in a question. They should be orderly included as follows:
| |
| **Age, Gender (e.g., a 70 year-old man)
| |
| **Site of Care (e.g., comes to the emergency department)
| |
| **Duration (e.g. that has started one week ago)
| |
| **Significant Patient History
| |
| **Significant Family History
| |
| **Significant Diagnostic Studies or the Results of Diagnostic Studies
| |
| ***Try as much as possible to include images whether still or motion
| |
| **Initial Treatment and Response
| |
| * The questions should not include negative phrasing , for example “except” or “not”.
| |
| | |
| ====Answers====
| |
| * Answers should include five choices where one answer is correct and the other four answers are distractors.
| |
| * Answers should not be "true" or "false".
| |
| * All distractors should be homogeneous as they should fall in the same category as the correct answer and should me similar in length.
| |
| * Long correct answers are discouraged.
| |
| * Illogical answers, absolute terms, word repeats ( for example: a word or phrase in the correct response is the same as in the stem) are discouraged.
| |
| * “None of the above”, “All of the above” or some combination of response must not be used.
| |
| | |
| ====Answer Explanation====
| |
| *The questions should include detailed explanation that provides the following:
| |
| **The reason why the correct answer is correct
| |
| **The reason why each of the distractors is incorrect
| |
| * These questions are intended to teach rather than to test, hence the use of graphics, references and guidelines is encouraged when applicable.
| |
| | |
| ====References====
| |
| References should be included when possible linking to new articles, review articles or guidelines that serve the initial teaching goal of the questions.
