I had washing hands, blood pressure, assist in feeding, range of motion for one knee and ankle, and ambulate with gait belt. That's a good question, I was wondering about that a lot before I took my exam. I think you're supposed to wear gloves, the rule that I learned in my CNA class was that whenever there's something wet, dirty, and anything you don't want on your hands is to wear gloves. I also don't think you would be marked off for wearing gloves. You should ask other students who are there with you when you take your exams whether or not to wear gloves for foot care.

I passed my exam, both written and skills. I didn't have any skill that needed the washcloth, but thanks everyone for the responses.

I was thinking about this method too. I just don't know if the evaluator would be in favor of this method. I'll give the square method a try, I'll ask other students tomorrow how they're going to do it. Thanks for the reply.

I take my CNA state exam tomorrow (Washington State exam). I'm getting a little confused with how you are supposed to use the washcloth mitt. For a lot of the skills (like bed bath or peri-care) you're supposed to use a clean area of the cloth after each stroke. So my question is, am I supposed to turn the mitt inside out or do I stroke with the backside of the mitt as well?
