This article provides the nursing professional development practitioner an overview of effective development and evaluation of a commonly used measure of knowledge: the multiple-choice test. Basic principles of test development and assessment are important for evaluating learning outcomes. When the steps needed to determine the fairness, validity, and reliability of multiple-choice tests are followed, the resulting knowledge tests will lead to more trustworthy results for the evaluation of nursing professional development activities.

December 2024
Department of Anesthesiology, Ningbo No.2 Hospital, No.41, Northwest Street, Ningbo, 315010, P.R. China.
Background: Developing proficiency in ultrasound-guided nerve block (UGNB) demands an intricate understanding of cross-sectional anatomy as well as spatial reasoning, which is a big challenge for beginners. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the feasibility of virtual reality (VR)-facilitated anatomy education in the first performance of ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus blockade among novice anesthesiologists. We carried out pilot testing of this hypothesis using a prospective, single blind, randomized controlled trial.
