Leave the questions on a line by itself. Write out the correct answer yourself. Use your version to help you revise the question, as needed, and to estimate how much time students will need to complete the question. If you can answer the question in ten minutes, students will probably need twenty to thirty minutes. Use these estimates in determining the number of questions to ask on the exam. Give students advice on how much time to spend on each question. Decide on guidelines for full and partial credit.

Sinusitis is an inflammation of the mucosal lining of the paranasal sinuses. As the mucosa of the sinuses is continuous with that of the nose, rhinosinusitis is a more suitable term.Sinusitis can be subdivided into acute, subacute, and chronic disease. Acute sinusitis is defined as disease lasting less than 1 month.indings of acute sinusitis include an air-fluid level, mucosal thickening, and complete opacification of the sinus. Blood in the sinus due to recent trauma may mimic an air-fluid level in the sinus, but it is easily distinguished by density measurements. In chronic sinusitis, the ethmoid sinus is commonly involved.
