**Excess Deaths Associated With NCLEX-Style 'Select All That Apply' Questions**
A new study has found that there is an association between the use of "Select all that apply" (SATA) questions on NCLEX style examinations and an increase in the number of deaths among nursing students. The study, which was published in the Journal of Nursing Regulation, looked at data from over 100,000 nurses who took the NCLEX style exams between 2013 and 2018. The researchers found that nurses who took exams with SATA questions were more likely to die in the days following their exams than students who took multiple choice versions of the exam. The researchers believe that the SATA format may be contributing to the increase in deaths because it is more difficult for nurses to answer these questions correctly. SATA questions require students to select all of the correct answers from a list of options, which can be challenging even for experienced nursing students. The researchers also found that nurses who took the SATA version of the exam were more likely to experience poverty from excess purchases of chocolate and Starbucks coffee. The findings of this study are concerning and suggest that the NCLEX style SATA format may be putting nursing students at risk. The researchers recommend that the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) consider changing the format of the exam to make it more fair and less stressful for nursing students. In response to the study, the NCSBN has stated that it is aware of the concerns about the SATA format and that it is reviewing the data. The NCSBN has also stated that it is committed to ensuring that the NCLEX-RN is a fair and valid measure of nursing competence.
