I just completed my CNA class in Michigan , I was told by my teacher that we should use a alcohol prep pad to wipe the drainage bag before and after it is empty . Your videos are very helpful I am confident in taking my state exam which will be very soon .

[@4yourcna]

Alcohol pads are no longer used to clean the drainage port for the state exam. This is not a graded checkpoint any longer. Your instructor may not be aware of the newest standards. Have your instructor view the clinical skills checklist on Prometric's website for specific checkpoints and they will see that cleaning with alcohol is not listed as a checkpoint. For the exam, you cannot allow your drainage port to touch ANYTHING during draining. This is the critical checkpoint on the exam. Best of luck!

I was always taught based on research of infection control that, whenever emptying urine from urine collection bag, then closing valve, and THEN, follow with "wiping urine collection port with an ALCOHOL PREP PAD in a one way swipe motion" BEFORE inserting it back into it's protective sleeve... always a must!? (THIS IMPORTANT STEP, is crucial for U.T.I infection control preventive for the patient). 4yourCNA, in which way does current research show this not to be an appropriate practice?

Thank you for your comment! We are very happy that you are finding our videos helpful! Regarding the alcohol wipe, in the Clinical Skills Checklist for Connecticut, regarding Measure and Record Urinary Drainage bag, step 5 states: "Empty contents of urinary drainage bag without contaminating drainage tube (e.g., touching container) and close and protect drain (e.g., clamp and tuck drain into pocket) after emptying drainage bag?" Prometric does require cleaning of the port with alcohol any longer. That method was removed from testing parameters a few years ago, so it is not demonstrated in our videos, since it is not a required checkpoint. Thank you and best of luck!

Gratitude!!! You make it so easy.

[@jeffsonyseraphin466]

Did you take the test already

[@4yourcna]

You are so welcome

[@tammybassile7480]

Can you please tell me if the drainage port should be cleaned with an alcohol wipe as in the old videos, not done any longer, or is optional? Thank you!!!

[@4yourcna]

You no longer have to clean the port with an alcohol wipe, which is why it is no longer featured in the videos. Thank you for your question and best of luck!

[@MrJOHNMICHAELVEGA]

Why is the amount of output urine documented?

[@hpfax4]

To make sure people are adequately voiding, or to see if maybe they are voiding too much and are at risk of being low in h20 or electrolytes.

[@MrJOHNMICHAELVEGA]

@@hpfax4 they cannot know how much electrolytes a person has lost by documenting the output of urine nor your hydration quality. There are blood and cellular analysis that must be done to qualify this . When I was first admitted to the hospital they cathed me and I eliminated 4 litres in less than one hour. My temperature was 34C . After 4 days of using a catheter and drinking water , my temperature was 36.6C . I felt better and was released from the hospital. I went home without a catheter but I had to use a catheter again after two days. Since that time I have had Prostate Artery Embolization intervention but this has not worked too well. I am still using an indwelling catheter to urinate. It’s been 10 months using a catheter . I change the catheter and drainage bag every one or two weeks myself. I have bought an ample supply to meet my needs. The urologist wants to cut but my problem is not the prostate per se . It’s the detrusor muscle that has weakened. So cutting the prostate would not eliminate my problem. I now seem to be able to eliminate but not completely and not with ease. It takes some effort to start. For right now I am still trying to figure things out .

[@maydzme4634]

can i use the washable underpad as my barrier? Miss Patty i've been watching your videos and found it helpful. Hope I can pass the test.

[@4yourcna]

Anything that separates the unclean table from your clean supplies can be used as a barrier: a paper towel, a bath towel, a washcloth, a tissue, a disposable underpad, a washable underpad, anything solid! Hope this helps!

[@karenparker3164]

Yikes! She forgot to clean the port with an alcohol swab :(

[@marphad8756]

Not every state requires that

[@geraldlindsey2001]

The existing bag has a firmly cemented (?) connection to the tube. it takes more than just a twist to disconnect. after several tries with pliars have not been able to disconnect old bag. All "tips" show this is done and skip over it, when installing new bag. do I cut the tube? what then?

[@alyssabennett9978]

Do we have to document only in military time?

[@4yourcna]

No, you do not have to document in military time, but since most nursing facilities use military time, you should be familiar with it because you will probably be required to use it in your workplace. If using "regular" time, make sure you indicate am or pm clearly. Thank you!

[@janicehenderson8837]

am I allowed to kneel down as long as i have a barrier between the floor and my knees

[@4yourcna]

Yes. You are not even required to have a barrier for the exam. Once you begin work, your uniform comes into contact with the patient privacy curtain (contaminated), the patient's bedding (contaminated), the sink (contaminated) and other items in the patient environment so your uniform is not considered clean after beginning work. Kneeling on the floor does not violate any infection control standards, but using a barrier will reduce potential contaminants, so it is a good idea. Best of luck!

[@jessicamullings7122]

Is it true that we should raise the bed before emptying the drainage bag

[@4yourcna]

You can if you wish, but it is not required. As long as neither the bag nor the port touch the floor, it is not a required step. Hope this helps!

[@mariazucchero9123]

I have notice after measuring the ouput urine the CNA should discard the urine in the toilet so that it doesnt have to smell it the bedroom patient.

I need help ASAP! taking my test tomorrow morning! ah! In the book guide for the skills portion of the test for this exact skills it says to put an isolation gown on with gloves to perform this task. Is it required? Will I get marked if I don't? I am taking the test in Nevada. Thanks a lot!

[@Metaldildoes]

And if it is Isolation, I would put my gown and gloves on before entering pt room?

[@4yourcna]

Nevada has a different set of standards and scenario regarding this skill. You are directed to put on gown and gloves prior to entering the room. Always follow the instructions you are given for the task you are asked to perform. We wish you luck on the exam!

[@Metaldildoes]

I failed my test, but I passed this skill. I messed up Feeding a dependent client (reported how much fluid was left in cup, not how much she drank) and failed ROM lower extremities bc I forgot to lower head of bed and place resident supine. I was so nervous I just kinda rushed through and just forgot even after another person told me after she did her test and before I went to do mine. Lame! Do you know if it will be random set of skills again? Someone told me they give you the skills you failed again and random in the spots that you passed....? Taking it again Saturday morning, thanks so much for these awesome videos!

[@4yourcna]

I'm not as familiar with Nevada's testing procedures, so I cannot really give you any guidance on this. In Florida (and other Prometric testing states), the skills are divided into 11 specific skills "sets" and each student is assigned a skill set when they register. Now, some skills are in more than one skills set (for instance, respirations are in 3 skill sets) so while you are assigned a different skill "set" it may contain a repeat of a skill that you already performed. There is no way of knowing what skill "set" you will get, as the computer assigns this and the evaluator cannot override the assigned skills without supervisor authorization (very rare, very time-consuming and must be for a VERY good reason). That is how it works here, but I don't know if Nevada does things differently. Good luck!

[@Metaldildoes]

Oh, that is interesting. We perform through a company called Headmaster. HDmaster.com if you are ever interested. They provided the equipment and everything needed for your task and they didn't require barriers or chucks on many skills. Was very weird. Even didn't require a bath blanket for bed pan, but I used one anyway. I think I passed this time! We don't find out until headmasters has time to tally up the scores and post them online. Holiday on Tuesday, so I don't think I'll be seeing my score soon, haha! Thank you so so much! These videos seriously saved me! At least as far as I know... :)

[@chayaeaddy1790]

I see this was 2016 are your videos still current in florida?

[@TheSMCSS1234]

So no alcohol swaps before and after you drain?

[@4yourcna]

No, alcohol swabs are no longer required during this skill. Thank you for your question.

[@TheSMCSS1234]

4yourCNA oh, i didn't know that. So, is it for all the states? Thank you.

[@Adonisbrown21]

4yourCNA even in New York?

[@4yourcna]

Yes. Please refer to the Clinical Skills Checklist on Prometric's website (this is the checklist the evaluators use to grade your performance) and you will see that cleaning the port with an alcohol pad is no longer required. This is the standard for all Prometric testing states. Thank you.

[@Adonisbrown21]

4yourCNA Thank you.

[@thaliapierrepierre3408]

do we have collecting a random urine, midstream,24h urine and straining urine in the prometric skills? I want to be sure because my school say that we have them but they are not in the prometric checklist on the prometric website

[@4yourcna]

No, none of these skills are on the clinical portion of the state exam through Prometric. While these are important CNA skills, they are not tested. Best of luck!

[@thaliapierrepierre3408]

thank you so much

[@IeshaJ]

Are all of your updated videos apart of Florida's requirements to pass the test?

[@4yourcna]

These updated videos were created according to current Prometric testing standards for Florida.

[@mercurialsilver5688]

When you document time of output, that is when the performance ends, right?

[@4yourcna]

No. The skill ends when you say "My skill is done." You are able to wash your hands, make corrections or consult the care plan before you declare that your performance is done. Hope this helps!

[@mercurialsilver5688]

4yourCNA I meant at the very end, do you look up at the clock to record time of output?

[@4yourcna]

+Mercurial Silver yes, the output sheet requires documentation of time, type, amount and initials. The documentation sheet shown in the video is the same one used in testing.
