The original concept for the product was designed using a box of cards with question stems, and the company recently developed the online model, which is still in beta-testing and is to be released before the end of the year. Nursing educators can quickly construct unique exams by selecting question stems from their test blueprint, then adding a specific client description, choosing answers and writing distractors.]]> 2020-09-30 00:50:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mfloyd21/bynom5th4sp5eyq8/wish/789982497 mfloyd21 https://padlet.com/mfloyd21/bynom5th4sp5eyq8/wish/790047808 2020-09-30 01:45:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mfloyd21/bynom5th4sp5eyq8/wish/790047808 mfloyd21 https://padlet.com/mfloyd21/bynom5th4sp5eyq8/wish/790049959 "The client with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is experiencing heartburn, eructation, and feeling of flatulence.

It has an easy-to-navigate platform that will simplify the process of constructing nursing exams. It also provides a cohesive way to align exam questions to nursing standards, as well as across nursing faculty. The founders of this company personally are committed to their product, and are working to make sure that end-users are pleased with the result, even offering a period of personal on-call technology and instructional support. As a new clinical instructor, I would feel much more confident basing my exams off of this program than creating my own, and believe that it would save a deal of time as well."

As leader of the team, I am strong in harmony, and focused on relationships. I want faculty to be pleased with our decision. Others I would add to the team are:

1. Self-assurance Sam, who will be confident in his opinion and the decision we make
2. Analytical Angelica, who will ask good questions about the product and evaluate it honestly and without bias
3. Futuristic Faith, who is always looking to update the way things are done and make improvements
4. Adaptability Amelia, who is flexible and accepts changes with grace and enthusiasm
5. Restorative Rachel, who is a problem-solver, and will have ideas about how to encourage others who are reluctant to change
