Nurse Educ Pract. 2007 Sep;7(5):285-92. Epub 2006 Dec 27. Review. This link will direct you to the abstract of this article by Honor M. Nicholl and Catherine A.B. Tracey, which was published in the journal of Nurse Education in Practice in 2007. Unfortunately, the entire article is not available publicly, but it can be accessed through the library. The article did a great job of breaking down the different steps required to develop effective questioning skills. It also highlights Bloom's taxonomy and gives example of question stems.

This article (which our very own Dr. Haines authored) from the American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education is a great reference that discusses types of questions as well as strategies for asking effective questions.
