Please help me, if you can. I took my CNA state board today. My three skills were record and measure weight, ambulation and Perineal Care. I did the first two without forgetting anything, washed my hands well, in fact the instructor said I didn't have to wash anymore. Then I did Perineal Care and FORGOT to turn the dummy over and wash the buttocks, remebered everything else. Will I fail for that???? I am so upset, can't stop crying I am 43 and can not afford to fail. I am a single mother and need this. Please give my your feedback.

only 3 task, think it's 5 (wash hands, a measurement & 3 others) in nc. what state are you in?
anyways, in nc it isn't a critical/bold part of peri care, but it's a listed step. no idea how they score it.
don't sweat it, you can take it again.
I am in NY wash hands is part of ever skill here and there was only 3 skills here. I know each skill is a certain amount of points but here in NY the skills are not bolded when they are important. Thank you for answering me :)

Im FL West Palm Beach. My instructor said that for the state exams we will have 3 skills.
#1 will be washing hands. They always pick that and then 3 other skills. So I guess about 4 skills. Im really counting hands, I believe you have 3 tries to pass. Good luck.
