What is the primary reason CNAs encourage residents to ambulate regularly?
Maintain muscle strength and joint flexibility
Reduce social isolation
Increase appetite
Enhance cognitive function
Regular walking helps maintain muscle strength, joint flexibility, and cardiovascular health, while also reducing the risk of complications like pressure ulcers and atrophy. Encouraging ambulation is a key part of restorative care for residents. It promotes independence and overall well-being.
Why are range of motion exercises performed for residents who cannot move independently?
Increase appetite
Maintain joint flexibility and prevent contractures
Improve sleep quality
Reduce vision loss
Passive range of motion exercises help prevent joint stiffness and contractures by keeping muscles and ligaments flexible. They also improve circulation and decrease pain for residents with limited mobility. Regular performance of these exercises is essential in restorative care.
Why is hand washing critical before providing care to a resident?
Improve the resident's mood
Warm the hands for comfort
Soothe the resident's skin
Remove germs and prevent infection transmission
Hand washing is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of infections in healthcare settings. It removes transient bacteria and viruses from the skin surface. Proper technique and duration are essential to ensure patient safety.
What is the general daily fluid intake recommended for most adults to maintain proper hydration?
5 liters of fluids
About 2 to 3 liters of fluids
500 milliliters of fluids
No additional fluids if on IV therapy
Most adults require roughly 2 to 3 liters of fluids daily to maintain adequate hydration and support bodily functions. Fluid needs can vary based on health status and activity level. CNAs help meet these needs by offering fluids regularly.
When using a gait belt to assist a resident with ambulation, where should the CNA position themselves?
Behind and slightly to one side of the resident
Directly in front of the resident
Several feet behind the resident
Next to the door of the room
Positioning yourself behind and slightly to one side of the resident provides support and the ability to catch them if they begin to fall. This stance also allows you to use a wide base of support. Proper body mechanics protect both the resident and the caregiver.
What action helps maintain a resident's dignity during toileting assistance?
Provide privacy by closing doors or drawing curtains
Explain the care plan in detail aloud
Leave the resident alone without offer of assistance
Use bright overhead lighting at all times
Offering privacy by closing doors or drawing curtains helps preserve the resident's dignity and comfort during intimate care. It also reduces anxiety and embarrassment. Respecting personal space is a core component of person-centered care.
What is the most important measure to prevent pressure ulcers in immobile residents?
Increase the resident's protein intake
Reposition the resident at least every two hours
Limit the resident's fluid intake
Apply lotion only once daily
Frequent repositioning relieves pressure on vulnerable skin areas and is the cornerstone of pressure ulcer prevention. While nutrition and skin care also matter, they cannot replace the need for regular turning. Proper technique and documentation are essential.
When preparing a meal tray for a diabetic resident, which item should the CNA avoid including?
Non-starchy vegetables like broccoli
Lean proteins such as grilled chicken
Sugary beverages like regular soda
Whole grain bread
Diabetic diets focus on controlling blood glucose by limiting simple sugars and high-glycemic foods. Sugary drinks can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar. Instead, individuals with diabetes are encouraged to consume complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and vegetables.
Which of the following is a common sign of depression in elderly residents?
Increased appetite and weight gain
Persistent sadness or apathy
Improved socialization and energy
Excessive laughter and restlessness
Depression in older adults often presents as ongoing sadness, lack of interest in activities, or apathy rather than overt tearfulness. Changes in sleep, appetite, and energy levels should also be monitored. Early recognition and reporting can lead to timely intervention.
What cognitive stimulation activity is most appropriate for residents with mild dementia?
Engaging in complex financial planning
Working on simple jigsaw puzzles
Driving instruction sessions
Marathon reading marathons
Simple puzzles challenge cognitive function without causing frustration or fatigue. They help maintain attention, problem-solving skills, and hand-eye coordination. Tailoring activities to resident ability fosters engagement and confidence.
A stage 1 pressure ulcer is characterized by which of the following?
Full-thickness skin loss exposing bone
Presence of slough and eschar
Intact skin with non-blanchable redness
Deep tissue loss with black necrotic tissue
Stage 1 pressure ulcers show intact skin and persistent redness that does not blanch when pressed. There is no open wound or skin loss at this stage. Early detection and pressure relief can prevent progression.
For a non-verbal resident, which method should the CNA use to assess pain?
Observe facial expressions and behavior cues
Ignore complaints and assume no pain
Administer over-the-counter pain medication routinely
Ask the resident to rate pain on a 0 - 10 scale
Nonverbal residents may express pain through facial grimacing, guarding, or changes in behavior and vital signs. Observational tools like the Pain Assessment in Advanced Dementia Scale (PAINAD) guide caregivers. Accurate pain assessment ensures timely intervention.
Which interdisciplinary team member is primarily responsible for designing a customized exercise program to improve resident function?
Registered dietitian
Activities coordinator
Physical therapist
Social worker
Physical therapists assess mobility limitations and develop tailored exercise regimens to enhance strength, balance, and functional independence. They collaborate with CNAs to ensure safe implementation. Their expertise is central to restorative care plans.

    Describe key concepts and rationale for promoting independence and well-being in residents through daily care practices.

  2. Apply Safe Mobility and Transfer Techniques -

    Use proper body mechanics and assistive devices to support resident movement and minimize risk of injury.

  3. Identify Effective Communication Strategies -

    Recognize and employ verbal and nonverbal methods to ensure clear, compassionate interactions with residents and the care team.

  4. Demonstrate Fall Prevention and Safety Protocols -

    Implement environmental checks and safety measures to reduce the likelihood of falls and accidents.

  5. Evaluate Changes in Resident Health Status -

    Assess and document signs, symptoms, and functional changes to inform timely reporting and care adjustments.

  6. Utilize Infection Control Best Practices -

    Follow standard precautions and hygiene protocols to prevent the spread of pathogens and protect resident health.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Proper Body Mechanics and Safe Transfers -

    Mastering body mechanics minimizes injury risk during resident transfers - key for your CNA practice test scenarios. Remember the "Base, Center, Lift" rule: widen your Base of support, keep your Center of gravity low, and Lift with your legs not your back. Practicing pivot turns with a gait belt in lab sessions builds confidence for real-world transfers.

  2. Effective Communication: SBAR Framework -

    Effective communication using SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) is tested in nursing aide practice questions. This structured handoff tool ensures clarity when reporting changes in resident condition. Practice crafting concise SBAR notes to boost confidence on the promotion of function and health of residents practice test.

  3. Skin Integrity and Pressure Ulcer Prevention -

    Maintaining skin integrity prevents pressure ulcers, a core topic in the resident health promotion quiz. Use the TIME mnemonic - Tissue, Infection/Inflammation, Moisture, Edge management - to assess and document wounds systematically. Inspect high-risk areas (heels, sacrum) at least twice per shift to spot red flags early.

  4. Fall Prevention and Safety Protocols -

    Understanding fall prevention protocols is crucial for the promotion of function and health of residents practice test. Incorporate the Morse Fall Scale - where scores above 45 indicate high risk - into your safety assessments. Always ensure call lights are within reach and pathways are clear to reduce trip hazards.

  5. Nutrition and Hydration Calculations -

    Accurate nutrition and hydration calculations appear in many CNA exam prep questions. Use the standard formula of 30 ml per kg body weight - so a 70 kg resident needs about 2,100 ml of fluid daily. Encourage balanced meals and use the "6 Cs" of feeding assistance: Consent, Comfort, Cut food, Caution, Conversation, and Clean-up to promote resident dignity.
