## How The Questions Are Generated

The server calls OpenAI GPT-4o-mini with a system prompt aligned to the NCSBN NCLEX test plan and US nursing scope-of-practice norms. Each question:

- Includes realistic patient context (age, vitals, condition).
- Uses plausible distractors that are wrong for clinically relevant reasons, not absurd.
- Avoids "all of the above" / "none of the above".
- Comes with a rationale that explains correct reasoning and why significant distractors are wrong.

## Limitations & Disclaimer

AI-generated questions are intended for practice and self-study. They are not vetted by clinical educators. Always verify clinical content against authoritative nursing references (Potter & Perry, Lewis Med-Surg, Lehne's Pharmacology) and your instructors. NCLEX questions on the actual exam are confidential and are not reproduced here — the generator produces original content in NGN format.
