A Note on Test Bank Style and Use
The test bank consists of the two major types of test questions, namely objective and essay. Essay questions require
students to generate their own thoughts (creativity) and organize a response to reveal their level of recall knowledge,
comprehension, evaluation, application, and/or reasoning. In this test bank, two types of essay questions are offered:
restricted response (e.g., Compare and contrast...) and extended response (e.g., Describe...; Discuss...).
Among the various types of objective tests, measurement professionals overwhelmingly prefer multiple-choice over
completion, true-false, and matching items. Multiple-choice items are the most flexible and adaptable. When
properly written, they are capable of assessing not only recall knowledge but also application of knowledge. In turn,
the application of knowledge may require certain levels of comprehension and analytical reasoning. In this test bank
the majority of the objective questions are the multiple choice format. At the end of this section in each chapter,
there are 20 matching items.
The instructor may select among the different types of questions to construct an examination. However, studies
show that combining different types of questions in the same test may result in distractions that affect efficient use
of available test time. Since assessment of student learning from objective tests is more reliable as the number of
questions increases, the elimination of as many distractions as possible will promote better use of time, thus
allowing more items to be included in the same time period.
While reading through these questions, you will notice the consistency of style and format. With few exceptions,
each multiple-choice question is composed of a stem followed by four options—one and only one correct option and
three distractors. The stem is presented in either question form or as an incomplete statement. In keeping with
recommendations of measurement professionals, there are no options with “All of the above” or “None of the
above” as responses. Where appropriate, two or more correct answers are combined into a compound response
within the same option. In the matching section, there are 20 stems and 20 options. Each option can be used only
once.
For your convenience, several features are included in the format. The column to the far left of each multiple-choice
question presents the correct option (a, b, c, or d). The next column reveals the page number(s) in the text
Understanding Nutrition (12th ed.) where information relates to the question. Finally, the symbol (K) refers to
questions that require simple recall of knowledge (or comprehension) whereas the symbol (A) refers to questions
that require application of knowledge and which also include items that may involve analysis, problem solving,
evaluation, and synthesis. The matching items also indicate the page number(s) corresponding to the text
information.
Compared with the previous edition, each chapter contains some new items, primarily of the multiple-choice and
essay type. Many of the new questions are designed to test higher-level critical thinking skills, including clinical
applications.
This test bank is available as a software edition, which enables the instructor to quickly and easily modify any of the
questions.
