Questions for the NGN

These questions are designed to test clinical judgment and decision‐making in a large-scale, high‐stakes setting. You can also use these questions to develop test content for the NGN that can be adapted for use in classroom settings, including clinicals.

Unfolding Case Studies 

These clinical scenarios unfold across patient care and include six individual NGN item type questions. Delivered in the order of the cognitive skills, each of the six cognitive skills from Layer 3 of the NCJMM are the focus of one question.

Clinical Judgment Content

Clinical judgment skills and abilities are crucial in the development of safe and effective nurses. Through a combination of patient scenarios, EHR tools, case studies, and clinical simulation technologies, Elsevier provides the content and tools students need to practice and apply their knowledge to the real world of health care.

Standalone Case Studies

Consisting of a clinical scenario and a single NGN item type question (such as Bowtie or Trend), these items address multiple cognitive skills from Layer 3 of the NCJMM within the context of the one item.
