CNAs report that often it is the clinical part of the test that many find more difficult due to their nervousness. While the state examiners expect some nervousness they will focus more on observing your basic care-giving skills. While taking the practical portion of the test, you will be asked to demonstrate several nursing assistant skills. Remember safety measures such as locking the wheelchair, using a gait belt with transfers, and raising bed rails when completing patient care. Keep in mind a patient’s dignity and privacy needs at all times. Knock on door before entering, close privacy curtains and cover patients as much as possible when providing care. Introduce yourself, identify your patient by name in a professional manner, and explain each step of your care prior to proceeding. In the red cross cna class you learn this as well. Be sure you put gloves on before performing any kind of care that would require gloves including any contact with body fluids. Always remember when you are asked to demonstrate a skill, to first use proper hand washing technique prior to performing the skill requested.
