It depends on the question and the answers, honestly. If the misspelling didn't make a word but it was obvious what was intended, and jux t chose the other answer to make a point; it was a poor decision when every point counts tremendously. If, however, the misspelling changed the context of the answer, it would be reasonable to expect a reversal.
I can tell that you nurse. The word was a typo, and in case this goes to the Supreme Court (joking), I’ll protect myself by comparing it to saying “sterile wtaer” instead of “sterile water” being the correct answer.jux t Did the spelling actually matter?
ie post nasal vs post natal, saline vs saltine, O2 Sat vs O2 Stat, contusion vs confusion?
Was the misspelling still a word, or was it an obvious typo?
I do not.
Are you a nursing instructor…?
The instructors have been recognizing/correcting their own mistakes on 5 questions out of 100 so far because enough students called them out for being wrong. They’re seasoned nurses and do know the subject material, but one in particular won’t budge on anything, so I’m meeting with another one. The misspelled word was the only one applicable to this thread, so I mentioned it. I get your point about not stirring the nest, but was raised to question and debate if necessary.
