Congratulation! We are so proud of you! I am so happy that you found our videos helpful in your preparation. Great Job!

Glad i'm watching these educational cna skill video's have my exam tomorrow morning very nervous but confident that i can do this with the help of remembering the skills from these video's and the experience i had with an assisted living place i worked at in 2013

@4yourcna 12 лет назад

All good points, and yes, you can certainly sit down for this skill if you prefer. We opted to remain standing while filming this skill for video production purposes (and the fact that the test does not grade on this point). To avoid confusion, we try to simplify the videos as much as possible. Since it is not a testing point, we do not want students to assume they MUST be sitting, then become overwhelmed when there is not an available chair for the test. :) Great point though! Thanks!

I would like to THANK YOU & YOUR COMPANY for posting skills needed to to become a CNA. I only took a 4 day class which was 16hours here in northeast FL(Jan. 24-28), however with the book the school gave me, library books that I rented, and most of all your videos helped med PASS THE CNA TEST. My skills were hand & nail care, ambulation, & feeding. Yes, I can't believe it but I did study hard and it payed off...Now I have to find a job.THANKS AGAIN : )

Congratulations! We are very proud of you and wish you the best of luck in your new career!

@4yourcna 12 лет назад

Either way is fine. Hands should soak for 2 - 4 minutes, so soaking the hand while you are gathering supplies is a good use of time. But you can also verbally acknowledge that you would allow the hand to soak and then proceed. Good luck!

@4yourcna 12 лет назад

Having the patient check the water temperature is the best way to promote patient rights and safety. You must make sure the water is an appropriate temperature by checking it with the inside of your wrist when filling the basin, then allowing the patient to check the temp after. And yes, the water should be changed if it becomes cold, soapy or dirty. Thanks and good luck!

@ava2hot19 12 лет назад

Thank you for the help. I'm an Lpn student but we are required to be cna's as well. We went over the skills awhile go and I honestly didn't remember certain steps. But I watched your videos all day on tues and my cna exam was the next day wed and I just found out that I passed. So Ty for these videos because without them I don't think I would have passed. It is different in every state but the overall concept is the same.

@4yourcna 11 лет назад

You should submerge the hand in the basin to rinse it properly, using the washcloth to squeeze water over the top of the hand. Thanks and good luck!

@d.joseph98 7 лет назад

Taking my CNA exam on June 5th. So so nervous, but excited. Thanks for the videos

@4yourcna 12 лет назад

CNAs do not clip fingernails or toenails. Patient's nails should be filed frequently to prevent the need for clipping. If a patient appears to need their nails clipped, notify the nurse. Clipping nails will NOT be done for the exam. Thanks for the question!

@4yourcna 11 лет назад

Thanks for the update. In New York, soap is not required (according to the published testing standards) but should be used, in my opinion. Good luck!

@4yourcna 11 лет назад

Thank you for such a wonderful comment! We are happy that you are finding our videos helpful and wish you the best of luck as you test!

@4yourcna 12 лет назад

The orange stick, emery board and barrier are thrown away for the exam. The washcloths and towel are placed in the dirty linen receptacle and the basin is cleaned, disinfected and stored for future use. Thanks for your comment!

@BlancaHernandez-eh8ci 11 лет назад

Thanks soo much for your videos i passed my CNA TEST.!!!!!!!!

@4yourcna 12 лет назад

@eskimoy 11 лет назад

I watch u everyday I'm a fan hope I passed my test tnx

@4yourcna 11 лет назад

CNAs are not permitted to trim patient's nails with a nail clipper, which may cause injury to the patient's skin on the end of the fingers or toes. In patient's with diabetes or circulation impairment, these injuries would be difficult to heal and may result in infections. Keeping the patient's nails filed routinely will keep them short and limit the risk of injury. Thanks!

@4yourcna 11 лет назад

Yes, the hand can be placed back in the basin to rinse it. Thanks!

@sophiabatson8308 12 лет назад

THIS VIDEOS IS HELPING ME TO MUCH! THANK U PATTY!! PLUS EXAM IS IN TWO DAYS

@farzanehp5901 3 года назад

Thank you very much for your vedio that I passed my CNA first attempt🙏 ❤❤

@4yourcna 11 лет назад

According to NY standards, soap is not required (although IMO it should be used). The standard states "Clean hand surfaces using wet washcloth, cleaning between fingers, and if soap used, rinse or remove soap using a clean, soap-free, wet washcloth?". Hope this helps! You can view the standards yourself by clicking on the Clinical Skills Checklist on Prometric's site. Good luck!

@4yourcna 12 лет назад

@4yourCNA to implement these practices in the skill. My advice would be to speak with your instructor regarding the differences and ask why each step is important for further clarification. This will lead to greater comprehension for you and hopefully remove any confusion you may be experiencing. Good luck to you!

@4yourcna 12 лет назад

Thank you for your wonderful comment! Congratulations on passing the exam and we wish you the best of luck in your career!

@4yourcna 12 лет назад

Storing equipment while wet is not a good idea. Bacteria and other pathogens prefer environments which are warm, dark and moist. By storing wet equipment in an enclosed space, you may promote bacterial growth. Plus, you may get other items in that environment wet as well. You should dry all equipment using the method outlined in the video before storing. Thanks for your question!

@4yourcna 12 лет назад

Thank you for your kind compliment! We are very happy that you found the videos helpful and wish you the best of luck in your new career as an LPN! Please remember us when you need scrubs (4youruniforms) so that we can continue to offer these helpful videos...and tell your friends! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Do yall have plus size

@4yourcna 12 лет назад

@01ahornback You are correct in that every state will have its own requirements. Your CNA registry may be able to provide information on testing standards for your state. This video reflects current CDC infection control and Florida state standards which dictates 20 seconds of friction only, followed by cleaning nails and maintaining infection control practices that do not re-contaminate hands after cleaning. These standards are pretty universal but different teachers may teach different ways

@4yourcna 12 лет назад

Hair care is no longer tested in Florida. It was removed from the Hand care skill almost a year ago. This video demonstrates the current Florida testing standards. Good luck!

@sweetniko20 12 лет назад

Thanks you so much my test is monday cant wait

@kerryannjohn5671 11 лет назад

very much understanding ,you know what your doing

@Loveionable3000 12 лет назад

Thank you for clearing that up for me!! You're AWESOME!! =D!

@4yourcna 11 лет назад

No, these videos can be used for the practical exam in any state since they are demonstrated using nursing best practices. Small details may vary from state to state as to how the test is presented and the specific tasks they ask you to do, but follow the care plan using these videos as a guide on how to perform those steps. Good luck!

@2485preacherman 12 лет назад

Great job. I have my test tomorrow ugh.... Scared to death lol. You do a swell job. Thanks!!;)

@4yourcna 12 лет назад

Thank you for your comment! Good luck on your exam!

@4yourcna 12 лет назад

We are working on researching nursing assistant standards for each state, but have not completed this process yet. I apologize that we are unable to provide specific information about your state at this time. However, skills are based on basic nursing principles, which these videos adhere to so they may be used as a general review of basic nursing skills for anyone in any state. While they may not reflect your specific test, it may be helpful as a review. Good luck!

@4yourcna 11 лет назад

In our Skills book, the supplies are listed at the top of the page, just below the care plan.

@4yourcna 11 лет назад

Gloves are optional for this skill. You can wear them if you wish and SHOULD wear them if the patient (or you) has any open sores or non-intact skin. You can easily identify any skin abnormalities prior to performing this skill by simply observing the hands because they are easily visible. If the patient has intact skin, no gloves are necessary. Pathogens must have an opening to get out of the patient or into you. Surface contamination will be removed with handwashing. Good luck!

@4yourcna 12 лет назад

These videos are presented for Florida state standards, but they were developed according to general nursing principles and in accordance with best practice guidelines. The performance of the skills should not vary much from state to state. The tasks that they may select for you to perform may be different because they will be based on different care plans. A care plan is a description of tasks for each individual patient and will be different for every patient in the real world. Thanks!

@4yourcna 12 лет назад

You should use gloves if you will be coming into contact with body fluids, if either you or the patient does not have intact skin or if you will be touching "private areas" on the patient. Since the patient's skin is intact and I will not be touching body fluids or private areas, gloves are optional. Privacy curtains are not clean (visitors, staff and patients touch them with dirty hands) and should be closed BEFORE you wash your hands so you have clean hands for the skill. Thanks!

@4yourcna 12 лет назад

@2485preacherman Good luck in your test! We hope you pass! We are happy the videos are helpful for you. Please feel free to click on the "thumbs up" button if you like the videos!

@4yourcna 11 лет назад

Yes, you may sit to do this skill, but it is not required. The entire skill takes about 6 minutes (only about 3 of those will you be sitting) so it is kind of a waste of energy to go get the chair for that short of a time, but it is fine if you want to. Good luck!

@4yourcna 11 лет назад

You may place a towel in their lap, but it is not necessary and seems to be a waste of supplies (which are often in short supply in a clinical setting). As long as you keep the basin and washing activities on the barrier on the table, there is no need for a towel on their lap as it serves no useful purpose. Yes, hair care was removed from the exam and is no longer tested. Good luck!

@hjstar168 11 лет назад

I understand now,thank you! :)

@tiafleenor6317 12 лет назад

i want videos like this for utah

@richeneljeanpierre2205 11 лет назад

Great video to get ready for the CNA practical test, but is there a way you could of zoom the video to show how you clean the under nail? I wanted to see.

@4yourcna 12 лет назад

@yummpify Thank you so much for your comment! Please feel free to click the "thumbs up" button so others will know how you feel about our videos! Thanks for viewing!

@Janay23 12 лет назад

I was told not to dry the basin after it has been disinfected, just let the disinfectant air dry, will that be a problem during the test?

@maryjohnmiller9368 3 года назад

I cannot see what is being done

@KaneesiaLashae 12 лет назад

Along with the foot care skill, do you just say that his or her hand has been soaking for about 5 minutes? Or do you have to do it like this for this skill? Let the hand soak while you gather your supplies????

@Loveionable3000 12 лет назад

What all was thrown away?? Was the emery board and orange stick thrown away along with the barrier?

@4yourcna 11 лет назад

If you click on the link at the top of the video (or go to our RU-vid channel and search for the Instructional video for this skill) you will find the close ups you are looking for. The instructional videos are much better and offer in-depth training with on-screen tips and video closeups. Good luck!

@yummpify 12 лет назад

Loveeee it :)

@nanasagaly4379 8 лет назад

do you need to ask which hand they would like

@kaitlynmay9840 11 лет назад

I was taught to put a towel on residents lap. Is this correct? I was also taught you do their hair at the same time?

@brandijordan65 11 лет назад

Can you stick the hand back in the basin to rinse it, or do you have to use the washcloth?

@pearlo4005 7 лет назад

I have my exam tomorrow 4/10/17 in New York , I'm nervous hope I pass.

@4yourcna 7 лет назад

We hope you were successful! Best of luck in your new career!

@alejandrapenaloza523 7 лет назад

Pearl Danquah did you pass your exam

@pearlo4005 7 лет назад

alejandra penaloza yes I did!!! one shot! the skills I got was mouth care, change of position and respiration.

@alejandrapenaloza523 7 лет назад

Did you pass by only watching the videos or practicing on your own too.

@pearlo4005 7 лет назад

alejandra penaloza the video helped a lot but I also practiced on my own. as long as you remember your equipments you good. knowing my equipments were my problem but when I watched the videos it helped.

@4yourcna 11 лет назад

For the exam, it is not required to soak the hand for any specific amount of time. Just put it into the basin to wet it before washing. Good luck! Please visit our website 4YourCNA (dot org) to order additional training materials such as a skills DVD, skills textbook, practice test or supply kit - this helps keep these videos and answers free!

@hjstar168 11 лет назад

how many towels are needed? at the beginning in this vid, i can see 2 towels prepared but at the end only one. will be taking up my cna test few weeks from now. your vids are helpful btw. thank you for sharing!

@4yourcna 10 лет назад

You may use one towel for both hands.

@prettyleng78 12 лет назад

hi!!I just want to ask if it's not necessary to clip the fingernails of the patient during the CNA exam..thanks

@maryanmartinez4131 6 лет назад

So I passed thank you

@4yourcna 6 лет назад

Congratulations! We are so happy to hear that you found our resources helpful! Best of luck in your new career!

@4yourcna 11 лет назад

No, you should not remove a patient's rings. They may become lost or accidentally thrown away. You may also be accused of theft. The safest place for a patient's rings are on their hand. Just wash around them as best you can. This is about basic cleanliness - the patient is not performing surgery and has no need to be "sterile". Think about basic handwashing that you do every day. Same goal - basic cleanliness. Good luck!

@maryanmartinez4131 7 лет назад

I'm testing tomorrow in michigan

@4yourcna 7 лет назад

Best of luck on your exam! Let us know how you do! :-)

@kezzybhadd13 8 лет назад

Here in Ohio we were told to push the cuticles back with the wash cloth...and you didn't do that. How come?

@4yourcna 8 лет назад

+ytown2013 This is not a graded checkpoint for the state exam. Pushing cuticles back (by applying pressure to the nail bed) could result in injury and should not be done routinely, without additional guidance from the nurse. This will not be done for the state exam. Best of luck!

@TheRhymez 12 лет назад

@2485preacherman did u pass? i have mine 2moro....this is crazy scary

@angie70595 10 лет назад

@kerryannjohn5671 11 лет назад

is a gloves ok for this skill

@luciannedayback9589 11 лет назад

can you sit to do this skill?

@ards91 11 лет назад

Is it ok not to remove the ring of the client? Because that might harbor microorganisms :)

@MrChrisshoe 12 лет назад

No need to use gloves for this skill?

@frankieh.6511 11 лет назад

NY does use soap

@krissuneson6993 8 лет назад

Why did she say she needed two towels?

@4yourcna 8 лет назад

+Kris Suneson I apologize, this skill used to require combing the hair as well, and the second towel was to drape around the shoulders for combing hair. Since this is no longer done during the skill, that portion was removed for the video, but the supplies were inadvertently overlooked and not updated according to the new standards. I apologize - only one towel is needed for the skill. We are in the process of updating the videos - they will be uploaded later this summer! Hope this helps!

@nursechristielynn12 9 лет назад

No she does not have to be sitting to do this skill. If you read the checkpoints for this skill, it does not state this. It only states this as a requirement for the feeding skill.

@sweetniko20 12 лет назад

Dont wr do nail and hair in the same skill am in florida

@jamesjamesajyahoocom 8 лет назад

you touched the sink handle with bare hand

@4yourcna 8 лет назад

Yes. Dirty hands can touch a dirty faucet. You cannot touch the faucet with bare hands after they have been washed though. Thank you for your comment!

@jenniferbright525 6 лет назад

Don't you use Gloves for this skill ?

@4yourcna 6 лет назад

Since there is no exposure to body fluids, personal skin or non-intact skin, gloves are not required. Hope this helps! :-) If you are enjoying these presentations, please don't forget to subscribe and give us a thumbs up!

@divadee1276 8 лет назад

She didn't wipe the table after she was done

@4yourcna 8 лет назад

+DivaDee You don't have to wipe the table when you are done if you use a barrier. That is what the barrier is for - to create a clean working surface and keep soiled items from contaminating the patient's table. Since a barrier was placed on the table before the skill and removed after, cleaning the table is not necessary. Thank you for your comment!

@clgil77 3 года назад

I dont see actual soap suds.

@marjoriechristalin 8 лет назад

you are supposed to wear a gloves

@4yourcna 8 лет назад

+JORIE love Gloves are not required for the exam because there is no exposure to body fluids, non-intact skin or personal skin. You may wear gloves if you wish, but if you do, you will be graded on when you put them on and when you take them off as part of your infection control grade. Since there are no requirements for gloves, they are not demonstrated in this video. Thank you for your comment.

@jeanhillairedupera2430 3 года назад

@naa9052 7 лет назад

I couldn't see her dig in her nails

@4yourcna 7 лет назад

Please refer to the newest video for more comprehensive skills demonstration. For the exam, we do not "dig in her nails", we will clean under the edges of the nails using an orange stick to remove any debris that may be present. This cleaning technique can be seen more completely in the newer video. Best of luck!

@naa9052 7 лет назад

no but she should've gave a up close view on how she cleaned into her nails so cnas can know the right procedure for it😊😊😊

@4yourcna 7 лет назад

The newest videos have the closeups you are looking for. These are the older version of the videos. Please refer to the newest videos so that you can see the cleaning procedure up close. Thank you!
