Writing Effective Questions

Follow these guidelines for high-quality assessment questions:

• Be specific: Avoid vague language like "sometimes" or "usually"
• One correct answer: Ensure only one option is definitively correct
• Avoid "All of the above": These are often too easy
• Use clinical scenarios: Present realistic patient situations
• Match NREMT style: Use similar wording to certification exams
