Writing defensible nursing test items requires time, expertise and multiple rounds of review, yet many nurse educators have limited formal preparation in item development.
AI can help faculty draft and edit test items more quickly than writing them manually. In a 2026 study, Claire AI® reduced item-writing time by 67% while maintaining question quality.
AI does not replace faculty expertise. It shifts more of the work from creating an initial draft to reviewing, refining and validating assessment content.
