Hello, the best of luck to you when taking your exam.

Hello Amber, During the COVID 19 epidemic Prometric will not ask students to take off their masks due to infection control precautions. Therefore, feeding, denture care, and brushing of the teeth will not be tested.

@@txcnaskills2599 Thank you so much! May God bless you :)

You're so welcome! Congratulations. You did the hard work and it paid off.

Great. Glad to help.

Hello Eliza, You don't have to fold the cloth for foot care.

I am so happy for you. Congratulations.

You're welcome!

Thank you! Cheers!

Hello LaShane. When providing foot care you will wash your hands three times. 1. Right after introducing yourself to the client and gathering your supplies. 2. After putting away from dirty supplies and before going back to the client for the closing. 3. At the end, Just before saying you are through with the skill.

Glad to hear that

Hello Siu, 1. Prometric requires the student wash ONE foot. 2. Prometric requires the student in step 3 to: Place water filled basin on protective barrier on floor to prepare for foot care? Prometric does not specify what the protective barrier should be. Therefore it can be a towel, chux, sheet, or blanket, etc... The bottom line is that the basin can not be placed on the bare floor. www.prometric.com/sites/default/files/NAClinicalSkillsChecklist.pdf Look on page 6 for the skill and pay attention to step 3.

@@txcnaskills2599 thank so much 🙏😊

Hello Albert, You are correct. Prometric does not care how we hold the washcloth when washing the foot. You are only graded on the steps listed in the Skills checklist with indirect care skills.

Hello Lillian, I normally place my washcloths in the water before I start to use them. This is a personal choice.

Hello Amie, Prometric is not testing on the oral skill at this time in Texas which are denture care, brushing the teeth, and feeding due to COVID-19. Prometric does not use the difficulty level for grouping skills for testing. Each candidate will be given the following: 1. Handwashing 2. Indirect Care 3. An ADL Skill 3. A measurement Skill 4. A mobility Skill

I saw a chart showing level of difficulty on Prometric’s website, which is why I asked the second question. So it is possible to get catheter care, positioning, and recording pulse in the same exam?

All the best

Hello Margie, Yes you can.

Hello Julia, You can place a towel over your knee and ask the patient if he/she is comfortable with placing the leg on your knew on top of the towel. This will provide support for the leg while providing foot care. Be sure to get the patient's permission.

Hello, as of today (2-16-22) we are still not doing the oral skills. The students will have to get the supplies needed for each skill. All supplies will be in the testing room.

@@txcnaskills2599 do we still get a skill in these categories ? 1 ADL 1 Measurement 1 Mobility

Great job

Not yet!

@@txcnaskills2599 Thank you :))))

Hello, For the state exam, the student is ONLY expected to wash ONE FOOT.

Thank you

Hello Kendall, Prometric does require the candidate to pass all five skills to be successful with the state exam. Now, with that being said you don't have to do everything perfect. Prometric has some steps that are considered critical steps. Prometric does not tell us what those steps are. So, you can miss some steps and still pass the exam. Pay attention to all steps involving safety, patient's right, privacy, and infection control. Those are critical when testing.

@@txcnaskills2599 thank you so much for your videos and feedback. So glad i came across this channel!

@@kendalllee3744 Great Kendell. Be sure to subscribe.

What a great question. I was just thinking about this last night. My cna exam is tomorrow morning in Massachusetts and I'm so nervous 😓.

Hi Dr lee quick question on foot care how long do we submerge the foot on water?

Hello Marlene, Yes, an orange wooden stick is required to clean under the finger nails and NOT THE FOOT CARE. We don't put sharp things on the the feet because a person may be diabetic.

Hello Bridgett, It is a habit for me. When I rinse the basins, I consider the basins clean. I still have gloves on, which are dirty. The state wants the gloves to stay on. So, I use a paper towel to keep my dirty gloved hands from touching the clean basin.

Hello Brittney, If a lot of lotion is present, you MUST pat dry the excess lotion. This is a requirement.

Just take your time

Hello Essence, I introduce myself to the client, tell the client what I would like to do, pull the curtain for privacy, and then wash my hand BEFORE getting my clean supplies.

Hello Wambui, You will only perform the skill on one foot.

Thank you, both! 🙏 I was wondering the same thing.

yes, that is correct.

Hello, I put the lotion and soap in the basin lying flat.

Hello, This is a great question. The state guidelines DOES NOT require a specific time for soaking the foot during the state exam. The candidate only need to place the foot in the water and them lift the foot out to start the washing process. Remember, during the state exam, the candidate is timed to complete the 5 skills. Therefore, don't keep the foot in the water too long, or you may run out of time. I teach my students to place the foot in the water for about 30 seconds and then start the washing process.

Hello, Yes you are correct. Prometric does not care about the position of the candidate. They ONLY care about the patient. The patient MUST be in a chair and the foot CAN NOT touch the floor. So, you are my student. HA HA

@@txcnaskills2599 yes! Amanda from your 4/29 class. Thank you Dr Lee, you are amazing and my mom is so proud of all I’ve accomplished and she’s told me so many times how thankful she is that I was around such amazing ladies💕💕💕you, your sweet sister and ms. Madison 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hello Asa, It is already done. Let me know when you get that passing paper in your email box.

No it’s not done yet. My exams is tomorrow Tuesday at 10 am . I will definitely come back here to let you know. I have been watching your videos all day and I’m so glad I found this Chanel.

Please let us know

Sorry for coming back this late, but I passed my state exams .Thank you so much

Hello Oyin, Foot care is performed on a live person. You will remove the socks and shoes before washing and replace them after footcare.

Hello, The state does not care if the student have or don't have gloves on when testing the water.

Okay thank you

Hello Tayyaba, During your state exam your partner will be in a regular chair.

@@txcnaskills2599 after foot care can we put on shoes to the patient or just a sock??

Hello Madisson, The evaluator will assign you a partner for the exam. You can't bring anyone to the exam.

Hello Maryam, One foot.

Hello, The candidate can be in whatever position is comfortable for the candidate. The patient MUST be in a chair.

Hello Miriah, Yes, you can kneel on the floor for this skill.

You only clean one foot.

HaHa. Yes, Miss Mary is spoiled.

No, we don't use an orange wooden stick or emery board with foot care.

Hello, You ONLY have to verbalize washing your hands for this skill.

Hello Silvini, I will be waiting. The best on your exam.

Hello Marlene, A privacy blanket is not required for the foot care skill.

Hello Jasmine, A bath towel is not required over the legs.

@@txcnaskills2599 Thank you so much Dr Lee

Hello, Prometric does not require the student or patient to have on gloves when testing the water.

Prometric NEVER requires a student to kneel in front of a resident for foot care. That would be hard for health care workers with arthritis to do. How strange for someone to teach that. WOW

@@txcnaskills2599 hi thanks for answering , yes that is what i was thinking because we are told about body mechanics to avoid injury, also us on the dirty floor? is there a checklist i can follow for the skills?

@@raquelserranogarcia www.prometric.com/sites/default/files/NAClinicalSkillsChecklist.pdf

That's what I was taught too. What do we do? Sit in a chair?

@@txcnaskills2599 we were told kneel n people tested that way

Hello Annie, Yes, the candidate is only required to wash one foot during the CNA state exam.

Hello. YES, for Prometric, the candidate is only required to wash ONE foot.

Yes, you can kneel in front of the patient when doing foot care.

@@txcnaskills2599 I did that today and passed thanks to you

Hello, Prometric has NEVER required a student to verify the patient's name tag before performing a skill. This is not a step.

Thank you so much!

Hello Tayyaba, You must put the shoes back on the client as part of the skill.

@@txcnaskills2599 thank u so much

Noted.

Hello Omawumi, Prometric guidelines state to replace the person's sock and shoe. Remember this will be on your partner, so you will just put back on what they wore to the testing site.

@@txcnaskills2599 thank you

I am sure you will do great next time. Remember, Prometric is not testing on oral skills also.

Hello Deb, Foot care is only done on ONE foot.

If Cleveland test under Prometric guidelines, then the tests are the same.

Hello Patrick, What ever body part you wet, then, you dry it.

Yes you can

Hello, No. The student is only required to do ONE foot.

@@txcnaskills2599 Thank you

Emery board*

On the home care aide skills checklist it says orange stick and emery board

Hello, It should say "AN Orange Wooden Stick" and an emery board. You can find a picture in a web browser.

The skill only ask the student to wash the foot. The student should not do foot nail care.

Ty

Hello, The patient can rest their leg on the candidate.

Hello Alexix, This is directly from the Indirect Care Behaviors Sheet. Please see the last paragraph on page 1. When reviewing the chart, there are several skills that under Indirect Care‐Rights, closing of the privacy curtain is not required. This is because these skills (ambulation, feeding, hand and nail care, measure and record pulse or respirations, and transfer) are sometimes performed in a more public way in the nursing home setting. Facility policies and other practices may suggest times when privacy is indicated for these skills; however, during the test pulling the privacy curtain is not specifically required, although the candidate may choose to do so. www.prometric.com/sites/default/files/IndirectCareBehaviors.pdf
