Hello to all the GuRu's out there,
What I have is a word doc full of test questions and I would like to run a macro or a VBA code to do what takes me hours to do. I have cut a part of the file that I am working with,
Test Bank
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. To assist in determining whether a patient seen in the ambulatory care setting has chronic insomnia, the nurse will initially
a. schedule a polysomnography (PSG) study.
b. arrange for the patient to have a sleep study.
c. ask the patient to keep a 2-week sleep diary.
d. teach the patient about the use of an actigraph.
ANS: C
The diagnosis of insomnia is made on the basis of subjective complaints and an evaluation of a 1- to 2-week sleep diary completed by the patient. Actigraphy and PSG studies/sleep studies may be used for determining specific sleep disorders, but are not necessary to make an initial insomnia diagnosis.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: 116
TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation MSC: NCLEX: Health Promotion and Maintenance
2. Which instruction will the nurse include when teaching a patient with chronic insomnia about ways to improve sleep quality?
a. Avoid aerobic exercise during the day.
b. Read in bed for a few minutes each night.
c. Keep the bedroom temperature slightly warm.
d. Try to go to bed at the same time every evening.
ANS: D
A regular evening schedule is recommended to improve sleep time and quality. Aerobic exercise may improve sleep quality, but should occur at least 6 hours before bedtime. Reading in bed is discouraged for patients with insomnia. The bedroom temperature should be slightly cool.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: 116
TOP: Nursing Process: Implementation MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity
3. After the nurse has taught a patient about the use of extended-release zolpidem (Ambien CR) for insomnia, which patient statement indicates a need for further teaching?
a. “I will take the medication an hour before bedtime.”
b. “I should take the medication on an empty stomach.”
c. “I should not take this medication unless I can sleep for at least 6 hours.”
d. “I will schedule activities that require mental alertness for later in the day.”
ANS: A
Benzodiazepine receptor agonists such as zolpidem work quickly and should be taken immediately before bedtime. The other patient statements are correct.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Application REF: 116 | 119 TOP: Nursing Process: Evaluation
MSC: NCLEX: Physiological Integrity
So, this is what I did,
1) I copied a .rtf file into word without formatting and it looks like the above.
2) what I would like to do is create something that will look for the question number "1" bring the question (everything up to the first multiple choice answer "A") then skip down to (ANS: C) , use this for reference to go back to the multiple choice answers and delete all but the correct answer. Then copy the paragraph directly after the "ANS: C". Then skip to the next question and do again until the end of file. This can be put in a new book or eliminate what is on the original. I am just wanting the output so when the question is read you get just the answer with explanation and do not fill your head with the incorrect items. I have put a sample of what I would like it to look like if possible.

I have a lot of books from school and have pulled answers and test banks to make these files and used then to study for my LPN boards and now I am back in school and will need to study for RN boards not to mention test throughout the next two years. My test bank should grow immensely and this will cut the info to just the pertinent info only. If anyone has the fix please feel free it will be greatly appreciated.Thank you very much
