The two words appear to both mean the English word `question`. Are they
completely interchangeable?

question
word-choice nuances
What is the difference between 設問 and 質問?
I am not a native speaker, but as I understand it: 質問 means a question in
general; 設問 is a question that has been _posed._ That is, 設問する is to ask a
question that you already know the answer to or for the purpose of generating
discussion.

Be careful, however, because what we call a "question" on an exam in English
is a 問題 in Japanese.
