Thank you so much that is great advice!

I'm in Phoenix

Jun 11 by bea777 I am preparing to take my state board exam for CNA in Arizona. As I've been reviewing my skills I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the supplies will be in the "patient's room" or outside? Will I have to knock, sanitize, greet the patient, explain what I will be doing and then leave to go get supplies and come back and put the supplies down and then resanitize before doing the skill? I thought I needed to bring the supplies with me but then how will I sanitize when I first walk into the room with my hands full? In school they had us use one of our desks as the "door" to knock on (our class was small and in the same room as the lab) and had us put our supplies on the desk when we knocked and sanitized and then picked up the supplies before "walking in the door". But the patient rooms won't have a desk or table outside the door to put the supplies on so how will I do it when taking the exam? I don't want to miss a step or do a step out of order and fail. Thanks for your advice.
