Sample CNA Practice Questions

Try these questions from our free CNA practice tests. The correct answer and an explanation follow each question.

1. A nursing assistant is helping a resident to walk. If the resident becomes faint and begins to fall, the assistant should

   • A. Hold the resident up and continue walking
   • B. Ease the resident to the floor and call for help
   • C. Carry the resident back to bed and then go for help
   • D. Hold the resident up and call for help

   Answer: B. Ease the resident to the floor and call for help

   If a resident begins to fall, the safest action is to ease them gently to the floor, controlling the fall as much as possible, to minimize injury to both the resident and the aide. Attempting to hold them up completely can result in injury to both parties due to the sudden shift in weight. Once safely on the floor, the aide should call for help and assess the resident for injuries before attempting to move them.

2. A nursing assistant closes the door, pulls curtains between beds, and covers the resident with a bath sheet when giving a bath. This is an example of maintaining a resident's

   • A. choice.
   • B. confidentiality.
   • C. privacy.
   • D. protection.

   Answer: C. privacy.

   Closing the door, pulling curtains between beds, and covering a resident with a bath sheet when giving a bath are all actions taken to protect the resident's privacy. These measures ensure that the resident's body is not unnecessarily exposed and that their personal space is respected, which is a fundamental right and promotes their dignity.

3. Negligence in nursing assistant practice occurs when:

   • A. A CNA performs a task beyond their scope of practice intentionally to harm a resident
   • B. A CNA fails to provide the standard of care, resulting in harm to a resident
   • C. A CNA makes a correct clinical decision with an unforeseen outcome
   • D. A CNA reports concerns about a resident to the charge nurse

   Answer: B. A CNA fails to provide the standard of care, resulting in harm to a resident

   Negligence is the failure to provide the expected standard of care that a competent CNA would provide, resulting in harm to the resident.

4. A CNA with 10 years of experience in rehabilitation wants to become a restorative nursing assistant. What does this role primarily focus on?

   • A. Administering physical therapy treatments
   • B. Helping patients maintain or regain functional independence
   • C. Performing surgical preparation tasks
   • D. Managing patient insurance documentation

   Answer: B. Helping patients maintain or regain functional independence
