Sample Questions

Question 1

When giving a bed bath, in what order should the CNA wash the patient's body?

Answer: Wash from cleanest to dirtiest areas: face first, then arms, chest, abdomen, legs, and finally the perineal area last.

Question 2

How often should a bedridden patient receive oral care to prevent aspiration pneumonia and infection?

Answer: Oral care should be provided at least every two hours for unconscious or dependent patients, and at least twice daily for all other patients.

Question 3

What is the correct water temperature for a patient's bath or perineal care?

Answer: Water temperature should be between 105°F and 110°F (40.5°C–43.3°C), and the CNA must always test it with a thermometer or the inner wrist before use.

Question 4

When providing nail care, which patients should a CNA refer to a nurse rather than trimming nails independently?

Answer: Patients with diabetes, circulatory disorders, or peripheral neuropathy should have nail care performed by a nurse or podiatrist due to the risk of injury and infection.

Question 5

What is the purpose of performing perineal care from front to back on female patients?

Answer: Wiping front to back prevents the transfer of bacteria from the rectal area to the urethra, reducing the risk of urinary tract infections.
