Hello, I have a question about measuring the liquid intake. How can I know how much liquid is in the cup? Since the tray would already be prepared upon testing, would the dietary card contain how much fluid is in the cup? and then after the actor is finished eating, you pour the left over fluid into a graduate and see how much is left? Thanks

Okay so I am a psw student, my major issue when feeding is I can’t tell when they have enough water/liquid in their mouth and want to stop, I always spill it after. (I just want to say with food I have no issues, and I never leave liquid just sitting on their face, I wipe it off and apologize instantly)

No, you do not wash the tray (in a clinical setting, the tray will be returned to the dietary department for cleaning. The spoon for the exam is disposable (as is the cup and food container) so it will be thrown away. Best of luck!

Does the percentage have to be right when you document?

@4yourcna 5 жыл бұрын

For most documentation skills, you have a margin of error for documentation. However, with feeding, you are estimating based on a percentage of what the patient started with. The percentages that you have to choose from are: 0% (refused), 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% (all). You will check the box for the one closest to what the patient actually ate. The margin of error on this skill is within 25% of the nurse's calculation. Hope this helps!

@4yourcna 5 жыл бұрын

Yes. You are estimating the amount of food and fluid the patient consumed and you have to be within 25% of the nurse's measurement. Hope this helps! Best of luck!

As soon as Im done feeding the pt for test will I throw away the food or snack fed and document or the evaluator would see first how much it was fed then I discard of the food?

@4yourcna 7 жыл бұрын

Do not address the evaluator directly. Trust me, the evaluator knows exactly how much the patient ate (because the "patient" is directed to only take 4 bites, then refuse). They are watching you feed the patient, they know the amount eaten. Simply perform the skill as you would normally. Throw the food and drink containers away after feeding. Hope this helps!

@jamiepenny743 6 жыл бұрын

Don’t you need gloves whenever there’s potential contact with bodily fluids? I feel like we used them in lab.

@4yourcna 6 жыл бұрын

You should not use gloves when feeding someone, unless the care plan specifies glove use. Most gloves are made of latex or vinyl - these substances have an odor which can affect appetite, so when you feed someone with gloves on, those gloves are below the nose of the patient, which means they will smell the gloves, not the food, they won't eat well. In most cases, you are holding a feeding utensil, and not placing food directly into a patient's mouth, so there is very little risk of body fluid contact. Think of your own eating habits...do you get saliva on your spoon HANDLE when eating soup? Probably not. Any saliva stays on the portion of the spoon that was actually in contact with the mouth - and we don't have any reason to touch that. Most people that need help with feeding won't have body fluid issues when eating - and if they do, it will be on the care plan. Hope this helps! :-)

If the patient is able to wash his own hands, then why can't he feed himself? Is this just to record the amount of intake?

@4yourcna 8 жыл бұрын

The care plan states the patient is unable to feed themselves and must be fed. As a CNA, we follow the care plan. But the care plan does NOT say that the patient cannot wipe their hands. Possibilities: Maybe the patient has Parkinson's and shakes too badly to feed themselves. Maybe they have shoulder injuries that prevent them from raising their arms. Or the patient may have suffered a stroke that affected their dominant side. We don't need to know why they can't feed themselves because the care plan gives us the task of feeding the patient. Yes, you will document the amount of intake at the end of the skill, but they are also grading your ability to safely feed a patient. Hope this helps!

Just curious why you choose reusable towels for clothing protectors, but use (and toss) all of those Chux pad barriers when emptying the Foley? Couldn't you use a towel instead and wash it rather than wasting the disposable pads??

@4yourcna 6 жыл бұрын

If you refer to the Clinical Skills Checklist for Empty and Measure Contents of Urinary Drainage Bag, Checkpoint 4 states: Set graduate or bedpan on barrier placed on floor and empty full contents of drainage bag into the graduate or bedpan. Since we are working with body fluids that may spill, it is best to use a waterproof, absorbent barrier, such as a chux. This prevents any urine that may spill or drip as we empty the bag from passing through onto the floor, as it would with a towel. This is the preferred method for the exam. A clothing protector is designed to prevent food or toothpaste from staining clothing, so a towel is more appropriate, since we are not as concerned with the waterproof properties. Thank you for your comment.

@delsoin1 7 жыл бұрын

I forgot to document the intake, would that cause me to fail this skill??!!😣😣😣

@4yourcna 7 жыл бұрын

Yes, it could, because measuring something without putting it in the patient's chart does not benefit the patient or the care team. This is a VERY important step, so that decisions regarding the patient's care can be made quickly and efficiently. Best of luck!

@4yourcna 6 жыл бұрын

For the exam, there is no diet card to check. This is not a graded checkpoint because the care plan instructs you to feed the patient a snack. Knowledge of specific diets and the importance of maintaining a prescribed diet will be covered on the written test, but this is not a graded checkpoint on the clinical exam, so it is not demonstrated in the video. Thank you and best of luck!

@4yourcna Жыл бұрын

Hi - thanks for your question! Feeding in bed is done the same way, just raise the head of the bed to the full upright sitting position and make sure the entire bed is in the low position so you can reach the patient when you are sitting at the bedside (you should sit to feed someone so they don't feel rushed). Hope this helps!

@fafimoh 8 жыл бұрын

why she didn't close the curtain for privacy ? and I think she needs to wipe the resident's hands after eating the meal ?? right

@4yourcna 8 жыл бұрын

Curtains are not closed for feeding because eating is a social event. Most people gather in groups and socialize while eating. Closing the curtain will isolate the patient and diminish the appetite. You do not need to wipe the resident's hands after feeding them, as they did not touch the food. Washing their hands before feeding stimulates the appetite, as handwashing is generally part of the eating ritual - most people wash their hands before eating. Thank you for your comment.
