- Jan 11 by StephAltmanI did my CNA test about a year ago. The skills I had to test on were: range of motion, cleaning dentures, hand washing, communication skills, and BPR. It is the hands on stuff you learned during clinicals. Good luck!
- Jan 11 by Glycerine82Quote from ph94They give you five. You must pass 4. Hand washing is one and a measurement is another ( bp, pulse, urine output etc) then there are three more such as oral care, occupied bed strip, transferring etc.It says you have to perform at least 4 skills
Can you give me examples of what that is?
It isn't the written exam obviously
You can't fail hand washing but if you fail one-off the others you still pass. There are certain partsbof each skill that if you skip a certain step considered crucial ( bed in lowest position, call bell in reach etc) you automatically fail that skill. IF you forget a step and remember before the skill is over they usually let you say so and when you would have done it.
Hope I helped. Forgive the mess I'm on my tablet. -
- Jan 12 by esandI had Peri care, nail care, handwashing, vitals, and applying a stocking.
Was easier than I thought.
Good luck!

"No day but today" - Jan 13 by pnkgirl25I did mine last month. I had hand washing, measuring urine, ambulate with gate belt, apply Ted hose.
- Jan 13 by annairb90I just took my CNA test last week and was tested on 5 skills. Everybody was tested on hand washing and communication. The other 3 skills are ones that you randomly pick from cards that are spread out on the table.
The skills I picked were back rub, pulse, and range of motion (upper body). I was very nervous about the skills portion of the test, but it wasn't as bad as I thought. I passed everything.
Basically, you perform hand washing (skill 1) and then you pick skills 2-4 from a card. Throughout all of the skills, you are being tested on how well you communicate with the patient (skill 5).
Good luck! -
