Test on Tuesday - Quick Question!

Hi.I just passed my test last week in Ohio.I don't know what is in your book,but we had book especially for skills.I had exactly occupied bed and bedpan.I changed just bottom sheet,top sheet ,blanket and pillow.Everything was fine.Skill about bedpan I did also good and examiner told me that resident can't help me ,so I rolled him on side and don't forget rail up on this side.I just forgot gave the resident washcloth and towel for washing hands.
I wish you good luck

I'm taking my test on Friday through Prometric as well. Occupied bed only requires a top and bottom sheet and a pillow case. Don't forget your bath blanket for the patient. For bed pan it says the resident is able to wipe themselves. So I'm assuming you have to roll the over and back onto the bedpan. I've also heard from some students that volunteered for the state exam that they had to roll over as well. Good luck.

I passed my exam for Prometric in April, and they do the whole bed (sheets, top cover, pillow, etc). Basically, everything that is on the bed must be changed. Don't forget to do the mitered corners on the top sheet/covers! My book said that we had to do it with the bottom sheet, but they had a fitted sheet at the test site, so you didn't have to worry about that. Also, don't forget that whatever side you are turning the patient to, to ask for either the testing nurse to help you, or lift the bedrail up. Lift the bed up to a comfortable height, as well, so you are not straining your back (you'll get counted off points too). While you are doing the procedure, make sure that if you miss a step, that you correct it. I was doing the bedpan, and I didn't lift the bed to a comfortable working height, so I stopped (making sure that the "patient" was safe), and told the RN and then lifted the bed. That way, you don't get counted off.

Also, when I was doing the bedpan, I was not told whether or not the patient could lift themselves up, so I asked the RN. She'll tell you if she can. The patient could, so I was able to lift them up, and slide it under. I had to reposition the bedpan, though, because it wasn't in the right spot. Just make sure that you STUDY, STUDY, STUDY!!!! I failed the test once before, but I studied like a mad woman and passed the second time! I had the written first, and passed that, so I didn't have to take it again.
