Hi guys, just wanted to let you know I took my CNA test after watching these videos and I passed. These videos are lovely as a teaching guide and a review before taking the exam. However, the other person I took my test with told me she failed because she didn't wash her hands after taking off her gloves. I don't know how other states test, but during the CNA exam in Florida, always make sure you wash your hands as soon as you take off your gloves, no matter what skill you are performing. Good luck to everyone and thank you so much Patti for posting these videos!

[@maxp6521]

When exactly? She takes off her gloves twice during this skill. If you are talking about at the end of the video, she just simulated washing her hands so its assumed she did after the skill was completed. Does she have to wash them also at 2:43 before lowering the bed also? Please let me know. I'm taking it in Florida in a few days

[@chavez8ful]

Honestly, it varies between states. In NC there are 4-5 glove changes. You gather the supplies while wearing gloves and when you come back to the room you change gloves. You need a towel or something to lay the bedpan on while you change gloves. They will also fail you if you place the bedpan on the table. This is one of the skills that i struggle with the most because of so many glove changes. The skill itself is not so bad, it is just remembering when to do what.

[@4yourcna]

The bedpan is not placed on the overbed table, that is correct, because it is an eating surface. However, you do not need to lay the bedpan anywhere. Leave it in the bedside cabinet until you are ready to place it under the patient, after placing the chucks under the patient. 4-5 glove changes is a bit excessive, and the evaluator may limit your glove use as this is not a nursing principle and an unnecessary expense for the testing center. Two sets of gloves is adequate, one set while placing the bedpan and one set while removing it. Hope this helps!

[@tonyahollowell7609]

She did not change or discard her soiled gloves which had been holding the soiled bedpan before turning on the water on the sink. There is no way this is acceptable for any testing.

[@thanos34362]

@@tonyahollowell7609 well for prometric it is, takes a quick google search.

[@LaundryMountain]

I prefer the way you teach this skill. In WA we were taught differently and do not place a chucks prior to placing the bedpan and we cover the bedpan with a hand towel after removing it before emptying and rinsing it. This way is cleaner and more effecient as the chucks provides the cover for the bedpan! I appreciate the additional learning from your videos. Love that I can pause or rewatch and review them. With sincere thanks.

[@SuperKillifish]

I have always been told to wash hands after taking gloves off.

[@4yourcna]

You do not have to physically go to the sink and wash your hands the second you take them off. You are permitted to do your closing first. The privacy curtain, the call light, etc. are not clean (patients, staff, visitors all touch them), so you MUST wash your hands before you leave the patient environment. This is a specific requirement. You can remove your gloves, wash your hands and do the closing, but then you would need to wash your hands again before leaving the room to meet testing standards. It's not necessary and not a graded checkpoint. Hope this helps!

[@staceyhoey7260]

Gloving and de-gloving are always two steps: hand washing (or hand sanitizing) immediately before applying (even if you washed when you entered room) and immediately after removing gloves, before touching anything else. **Even if not required by the state, it absolutely best practice.**

It doesn't make sense not to use a chucks when assisting with a bedpan because you will have sloshing when moving the head of the bed up and down. I think there was probably more to the story than you were told. You will receive a print out after you perform your skills test that details what critical steps you missed - this will provide information you can use to improve your performance in the future.

[@shikha5246]

Always wash hands after removing gloves before changing to next pair of gloves. Always wash hands after before leaving room. Just wash both times 😅

[@erinbialousz2702]

Do you have to wash your hands after you take your gloves off? Some teachers are saying to wash hands three total times when changing a bedpan

[@4yourcna]

For the exam, you only have one patient and you are not leaving the room. You are not required to wash your hands while waiting for the "patient" to finish toileting for the exam, since you are still in the room. However, in a clinical setting, you would not be standing there waiting. Because you would be leaving the room, you would need to wash your hands before exiting and then wash them again when you return to the room before putting gloves on (since you are ALWAYS required to wash your hands before and after patient contact). So, for the exam, not required but in a clinical setting required. Hope this helps!

She left the side rail down on the right side when she walked away to get the bed pan... my instructors fail for that! Otherwise, very explanatory and helpful :)

[@4yourcna]

Side rails are not graded during the exam. In most cases, the testing center does not even have side rails on the beds. You are responsible for knowing how to perform care safely without the use of side rails (because they are considered a restraint and not present in most settings). Side rails may not be used without a doctor's order. Thank you for your question!

[@mackenziec.k.353]

They are graded in skills test.

[@4yourcna]

What state are you in? For Prometric Testing states, they are not required. Please see the Clinical Skills Checklist on Prometric's website for your state for specific information on side rails. Thank you for your comment!

[@mackenziec.k.353]

4yourCNA CA. And side rails are a part of the skills test/opening and closing procedures.

[@4yourcna]

If you are in a Prometric testing state, siderails are NOT part of the opening and closing procedures. In fact, you will be told that siderail usage is not graded at all during the exam and you must perform the skill safely without regard for siderails. Other states may grade on siderails, but Prometric states do not. These videos are produced for Prometric grading standards. Best of luck!

[@loading9483]

This is the only skill I had problems with on the state test. The evaluators told me that my patient couldn't adjust the bed pan himself while I was adjusting the bed.after I left him to use it and wipe they checked to see if the pan was in the correct posistion. I wasn't sure what to do

[@4yourcna]

Yes, the evaluators will check to see if the bedpan is in the proper position, under the patient's buttocks. The patient can make small adjustments as the head of the bed is raised, but proper positioning must be done by the CNA, with the widest part of the bedpan (the part that looks like a toilet seat) under the patient's buttocks. Thank you for your comment!

[@iamalax]

don't you have to spray out the bedpan with disinfectant after you empty it and rinse it out in the toilet?

[@4yourcna]

No, for the exam, there is no disinfectant available. You can wash it out with soap and water if you wish, but this isn't a graded checkpoint on the exam. For the exam, they are simulating liquid waste, not solid, so rinsing with water is considered appropriate. This bedpan is only used by that one patient, so disinfection is not required.

I take my tests tomorrow and I’m pretty nervous.. for my class I was shown to raise the bed for skills you might bend over for.. should I skip this step because I’m leaving the patient alone in the room or just lower them with them on the bed pan and raise it when I come back in

[@GGFIERCE]

I have a question, since you used a napkin to open the draw to put bedpan away. Shouldn't you have used it in the beginning to open it as well? or would gloves be needed? Im wondering if it didn't matter because you washed hands

[@SuperKillifish]

In pearson vue book it states hand wipes are to be given to client w toilet paper.

[@4yourcna]

A hand wipe was offered to the patient at the end of the skill prior to the closing. Different states have different checkpoints. Please refer to the checklist for your state. These videos are intended for Prometric testing states. Thank you for your comment!

[@tevy2540]

What about making sure the bed wheels is locked

[@mariaqtiturrino4641]

Why you didn’t use a paper to open the forced when you clean the basin ?

[@unvmebsn7483]

Hi Patty, is it mandatory to have a paper towel in the hand that you use to open the drawer. I know that you must have it in the hand that is holding the bedpan for return to the storage unit.

[@4yourcna]

Since you have not washed your hands, they are not considered clean. You don't want to touch the outside of the drawer with a dirty hand (or, in this case, glove) because that drawer will be touched by clean hands later for other skills. The drawer front should never be touched with dirty hands/gloves - this is an infection control principle. It helps keep the patient's environment clean! Hope this helps!

[@polynesianwahine]

It doesn’t make since to me that your took off your gloves before you have him the wipe his hands when his hands could be contaminated. Shouldn't you wait until hes finished wiping his hands. I’m I right or wrong ?

[@MrRJMGREEN]

Was she not supposed to wash her hands after she placed the bed pan under him? Step #6 in my book says, "Removes and disposes of gloves (without contaminating self) into waste container and washes hands."

[@4yourcna]

Prometric testing does not require this step. This is because you have not left the room and you are not caring for other patients while you are waiting. In a clinical setting, it would be an important step if you are leaving the bedside or caring for other residents to prevent contamination. Since this is not the case for the exam, this step is not required. Many textbooks will have generalized instructions which are designed to encompass a variety of settings and scenarios but our resources are very specific to the state exam and reflect the specific scenario and care plan that you will receive during the exam. Thank you for your comment!

[@MrRJMGREEN]

Thank you so much! I will use this video to practice. Thanks again. :)

[@brewcitybaddazz]

MrRJMGREEN yea we're told ANYTIME you remove gloves the FIRST thing you do is wash your hands.

[@4yourcna]

This is a good principle but not required for the state exam. You are still working on the same patient and not leaving their environment. You are required to wash your hands at the beginning of the skill (before patient contact) and the end of the skill (before leaving the patient environment). You can wash your hands between if they are soiled, but this is not required for any skill for the exam. Hope this helps!

[@jennguthrie1430]

Question: Why did she open the drawer with bare hands then put gloves on, but had contaminated gloves still on when she re opened the drawer to put the items back? Wouldn’t that contaminate the drawer?

[@4yourcna]

As long as you only touch the drawer with clean hands (or a paper towel after performing the skill), the drawer should remain clean. However, I ALWAYS gather my supplies before putting my gloves on. You want to minimize the amount of items your gloves touch before working on the patient with those gloves. Even if my hands come into contact with some pathogens, they will be covered with clean gloves (keep your gloves clean for the patient). Hope this helps! (refer to glove rules video)

[@IeshaJ]

Is it still recommend in Miami (the state of Florida) to check the wrist for identification for any skill as of 2017 when taking the exam?

[@4yourcna]

Prometric testing in Florida will not have ID bands to check during the exam. You will identify your patient by name prior to beginning the skill. Hope this helps! Best of luck!

[@leonel1995]

Are you taking the Exam soon in Miami?

[@IeshaJ]

Yes I am. I'm just waiting for a date to be assigned to me.

[@4yourcna]

+Iesha J Sorry I missed this question! For the exam, the patient can self identify (think of yourself in the doctor's office - if they call you by the wrong name, you would immediately correct them) so you will simply say their name when introducing yourself. No ID bands will be used during the test. Best of luck!

[@desireegalan3918]

I watched your videos and took my state exam in Texas they were helpful but I failed😒. I forgot to lower bed and call light on one of my steps.

[@Adonisbrown21]

New York State does it different, but you were good. Now I know what to do

[@4yourcna]

Actually, since Prometric is the testing agency for New York, and these videos meet ALL of Prometric testing guidelines, this video is appropriate for those preparing for testing in New York. Please refer to the Clinical Skills Checklist for New York on Prometric's website (www.prometric.com/en-us/clients/Nurseaide/Pages/ny.aspx) to review the checkpoints. You will see that this video meets all testing checkpoints for this skill. Thank you and best of luck!

[@Adonisbrown21]

4yourCNA and that’s why I’m watching your video. Lol

[@JamericanGir]

You have my brothers middle and last name

[@priscillamast1112]

Do you need raise the bed to working level , then leave bed in lowest position when you give patient the bedpan and leave to give them privacy ?

[@JessicaKing-wm1tf]

for anyone who has taken it in NY, i was told it is 5 handwashes but I cant seem to figure out the 5th??

[@laniscott2133]

Jw why no disinfectant spray in the bed pan? I know I've seen you use it in other videos, maybe those were outdated?

[@precaesroyale3676]

Does the bed pan need to be sprayed with disinfectant?

[@4yourcna]

No, the new standards do not allow for disinfecting the basins. You are simply to rinse, dry and store all patient supplies. Hope this helps!

[@smartypantstv7341]

I’m gonna take my exam tomorrow but am very nervous

[@ivonnerangel5324]

I’m taking it next Tuesday! I hope you pass both exams Lisa 💕

[@stephsykes5123]

Even if we put a chux over the bed table, are we allowed to put the bed pan on top Of the table? Or a bed pan is not allowed at all?

[@JM-ed7vo]

so we don't ask them to roll to side to position bed pan under butt?? we can ask them to lift?

[@queeninglikebambi]

I feel like there should already be a clean chucks under the patient. The time it takes to put under the could cause them to soil themselves

[@4yourcna]

Patients that are not incontinent should not have a chucks in place. This is an unnecessary use of supplies (which the patient has to pay for) and poses an infection control risk. Since chucks are plastic lined, they will hold in the patient's body heat, often causing the patient to sweat. This provides a warm, dark, moist environment where bacteria can thrive. Use chucks when appropriate, but if not needed, they should not be used. For the exam, the patient will not have a chucks under them at the beginning of the skill. Thank you for your comment!

[@suzienavarre3498]

For me you do a little mistake when you get blanket off you have to put again your gloves on before removing the blanket

[@daliacedenoreyes8269]

You are supposed to raise the bed for all procedures.

[@karrasolomon3391]

I hve two questions, hopefully someone will answer. I want to know, one: do i hve to announce each thing i do? I understand i hve to introduce myself and tlk naturally to the patient but will i hve to announce every action to the person whos testing me? 2nd question: will i have to memorize all the supplies needed? I kno each skill has either a short supply list or a long list, i jst wanted to see uf they actually tell u wt u need or if ur jst suppose to already kno.

[@allison8169]

I'm not entirely sure about the first question. Still, I do know it is helpful for you to announce everything you do as it helps many people make sure they don't miss a step. Also, as you complete the skill, the evaluator knows what you're doing and doesn't accidentally mark something as missed because they didn't see you as you will be verbalizing it. For the second question, yes, you do need to remember all the materials for all the skills. Hope this helps!
