1. What is the normal resting pulse range for a healthy adult, in beats per minute?
- A. 40 to 60
- B. 60 to 100
- C. 100 to 120
- D. 120 to 140
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. 60 to 100
A normal adult resting pulse is 60 to 100 beats per minute. A rate below 60 or above 100 should be reported to the nurse, along with whether the pulse felt regular, weak or bounding.
2. When is an alcohol-based hand rub NOT an acceptable substitute for washing with soap and water?
- A. Before entering a resident's room
- B. When your hands are visibly soiled
- C. After removing your gloves
- D. After touching a bed rail
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. When your hands are visibly soiled
Alcohol rubs do not remove visible dirt or body fluids, so hands that look or feel soiled must be washed with soap and running water. Soap and water are also required after caring for a resident with C. diff, because alcohol does not kill its spores.
3. Where should a gait belt be applied before a transfer?
- A. Around the chest, under the arms
- B. Around the waist, over the resident's clothing
- C. Around the waist, directly against bare skin
- D. Around the hips, below the buttocks
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. Around the waist, over the resident's clothing
The gait belt goes around the waist over clothing, snug enough that you can slide a flat hand underneath. Placing it on bare skin can pinch and bruise, and placing it under the arms or over the chest can restrict breathing.
4. Which of the following are part of standard precautions?
Velg alle som passer.
- A. Wearing gloves whenever contact with blood or body fluids is likely
- B. Performing hand hygiene before and after every resident contact
- C. Placing used needles in a puncture-resistant sharps container
- D. Wearing gloves only for residents with a known infection
- E. Wearing the same gown for the next resident to save supplies

Svar: A. Wearing gloves whenever contact with blood or body fluids is likely, B. Performing hand hygiene before and after every resident contact, C. Placing used needles in a puncture-resistant sharps container
Standard precautions apply to every resident, all the time, because you cannot tell by looking who carries an infection. Gowns and gloves are single use and are removed before you leave the room, never carried to the next resident.
5. Complete the sentence.
If a resident starts to fall while you are walking with them, you should _____.
Alternativer for luke 1: hold them upright and try to stop the fall, ease them to the floor while protecting the head, step back and let them fall clear of you, pull them back up by one arm
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: ease them to the floor while protecting the head
You cannot safely stop a falling adult, and trying to injures both of you. Use the gait belt to guide the resident down along your leg, protect the head, then stay with them and call for the nurse.
6. A resident suddenly cannot speak, cough or breathe while eating. What should the CNA do?
- A. Encourage the resident to keep coughing
- B. Give abdominal thrusts and call for help
- C. Offer sips of water to wash the food down
- D. Lay the resident down and wait for the nurse
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. Give abdominal thrusts and call for help
No speech, no cough and no air means a complete airway obstruction, which calls for abdominal thrusts in a responsive adult. Encouraging coughing is right only for a partial obstruction, where the resident can still cough or make sound.
7. In the fire safety acronym RACE, what does the R stand for?
- A. Report the fire to the front desk
- B. Rescue anyone in immediate danger
- C. Remove all oxygen equipment
- D. Run to the nearest exit
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. Rescue anyone in immediate danger
RACE stands for Rescue, Alarm, Confine, Extinguish. You move anyone in immediate danger first, then pull the alarm, close doors to confine the fire, and only use an extinguisher on a small fire if you are trained and it is safe.
8. Which of the following actions respect a resident's rights and dignity during personal care?
Velg alle som passer.
- A. Knocking and waiting for permission before entering the room
- B. Explaining what you are going to do before you start
- C. Closing the door and pulling the privacy curtain
- D. Discussing the resident's condition with coworkers in the hallway
- E. Choosing the resident's clothes for them to save time
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. Knocking and waiting for permission before entering the room, B. Explaining what you are going to do before you start, C. Closing the door and pulling the privacy curtain
Residents keep the right to privacy, to be informed and to make their own choices, including what to wear. Talking about a resident where others can hear breaks confidentiality, and deciding for a resident who is able to choose takes away their independence.
9. A CNA walks into a room and finds a resident lying on the floor beside the bed. What should the CNA do first?
- A. Help the resident back into bed right away
- B. Stay with the resident, call for the nurse and do not move them
- C. Look for the family before doing anything
- D. Finish the rest of the rounds and report it at the end of the shift
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. Stay with the resident, call for the nurse and do not move them
Moving a resident who may have a fracture or head injury can make the injury worse, so stay with them and get the nurse to assess first. Every fall is an incident that must be reported right away and documented on an incident report, even if the resident says they feel fine.
10. Complete the sentence.
When transferring a resident with one-sided weakness from the bed to a wheelchair, place the wheelchair on the resident's _____ side.
Alternativer for luke 1: weaker, stronger, left, right
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: stronger
Positioning the chair on the stronger side lets the resident lead with the leg and arm that can bear weight. Lock the wheels, put the footrests out of the way, and keep the transfer short by placing the chair close to the bed.
11. While performing passive range of motion exercises, the resident says a movement hurts. What should the CNA do?
- A. Push a little past the pain to keep the joint flexible
- B. Stop that movement and report the pain to the nurse
- C. Repeat the movement faster so it is over sooner
- D. Continue and mention it at the end of the shift
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. Stop that movement and report the pain to the nurse
Range of motion is moved only to the point of resistance, never through pain, because forcing a joint can tear tissue or cause a fracture. Stop the movement and report it, since new pain can be the first sign of an injury or another problem.
12. When giving perineal care to a female resident, the CNA should clean:
- A. From back to front
- B. From front to back
- C. In circles starting at the rectum
- D. From side to side, starting at the anus
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. From front to back
Wiping from front to back moves bacteria away from the urethra instead of toward it, which lowers the risk of urinary tract infection. Use a clean area of the washcloth for each stroke so you are not spreading what you just wiped away.
13. Which of the following are bony areas at high risk for pressure injuries?
Velg alle som passer.
- A. The sacrum, at the base of the spine
- B. The heels
- C. The hip, over the greater trochanter
- D. The abdomen
- E. The palms of the hands
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. The sacrum, at the base of the spine, B. The heels, C. The hip, over the greater trochanter
Pressure injuries form where bone presses skin against a surface, so the sacrum and heels are the classic sites for a resident lying on their back, and the hip is the classic site for side-lying. Soft, padded areas like the abdomen and palms carry far less risk, which is why repositioning at least every two hours targets the bony points.
14. Complete the sentence.
The average normal oral temperature for an adult is about _____ degrees Fahrenheit.
Alternativer for luke 1: 96.8, 97.6, 98.6, 100.4
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: 98.6
98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, or 37 degrees Celsius, is the standard average oral temperature, though normal varies a little by person and time of day. Site matters too: rectal readings run about a degree higher and axillary readings about a degree lower than oral.
15. A CNA notices unexplained bruises on a resident and sees the resident flinch when a particular staff member walks in. What must the CNA do?
- A. Report the observation to the nurse or supervisor immediately
- B. Watch for a few more days to be sure before saying anything
- C. Ask the other staff member privately what happened
- D. Write it down at home and keep it to themselves
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. Report the observation to the nurse or supervisor immediately
Nursing assistants are mandatory reporters, and the duty is to report a suspicion, not a proven case. Investigating on your own delays protection for the resident and can destroy evidence, so pass the observation up the chain right away and document exactly what you saw.
Dette står faktisk på CNA-prøven
Sertifiseringsprøven for CNA har to separate deler, og du må bestå begge. Den første er en skriftlig kunnskapsprøve, vanligvis rundt 60 flervalgsspørsmål om stell, grunnleggende sykepleie, smittevern, sikkerhet, beboerrettigheter og kommunikasjon. Den andre er en praktisk ferdighetsprøve, der en sensor ser deg utføre et lite sett med pleieassistentferdigheter på en person eller en dukke og vurderer hvert påkrevde steg.
Prøven administreres av delstaten, så detaljene settes av din delstat og testleverandøren der, ikke av ett nasjonalt organ. Antall spørsmål, tidsgrensen, poengsummen for å bestå, hvor mange ferdigheter du blir bedt om å utføre og hvor mange forsøk du får varierer fra delstat til delstat. Mange delstater tilbyr også kunnskapsprøven muntlig for kandidater som leser sakte eller leser bedre på et annet språk. Sjekk kandidathåndboken i din egen delstat for tallene som gjelder deg, for et tall du leser på et forum kan være fra en annen delstat.
Én ting er nesten universell: håndvask er nesten alltid en av ferdighetene du blir bedt om å vise, og hopper du over ett eneste steg som vurderes, som å skru av kranen med et rent papirhåndkle, kan du stryke på hele ferdigheten. Den praktiske delen belønner en fast rutine mer enn den belønner kunnskap, og det er derfor kandidater som består den skriftlige prøven likevel kan stryke på den praktiske hvis de aldri har øvd stegene høyt.
Slik bruker du denne smakebiten
Disse 15 spørsmålene øver bare på den skriftlige delen. De følger samme innholdsblanding som kunnskapsprøven bruker: vitale tegn og grunnleggende sykepleieferdigheter, personlig stell og dagliglivets aktiviteter, smittevern, sikkerhet og akutte situasjoner, beboerrettigheter og kommunikasjon, pluss anatomien du trenger for å gi trygt stell. Ingenting her kan erstatte ferdighetsprøven, som du må øve på med hendene.
Ta den i én økt uten notater, og les så forklaringen til hvert spørsmål, også de du fikk riktig. Et feil svar peker på et tema, ikke bare på et faktum. Bommet du på spørsmålet om forflytningsbelte og spørsmålet om plassering av rullestolen, repeter forflytningsteknikk som helhet framfor å pugge de to svarene.
Øv annerledes på den praktiske delen. Velg én ferdighet, si stegene høyt i rekkefølge, og la en medstudent krysse dem av mot ferdighetslisten i din delstat. Gjør det så en gang til på tid. Stegene folk oftest hopper over er de stille: privatliv, håndhygiene til riktig tid, å legge ringesnoren innen rekkevidde og å senke sengen før du går.
