CNA Practice Test: Video 2 Answers (25 Questions)

Question 1

Which type of precaution is used for every resident, regardless of diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

Standard precautions

Answer

Standard precautions apply to all residents at all times. Droplet, airborne, and contact precautions are added only for specific known or suspected infections.

Question 2

A resident is on contact precautions for MRSA. Which item must the CNA put on before entering the room?

Accepted Answer

Gown and gloves

Answer

Contact precautions require a gown and gloves because MRSA spreads by touch. A respirator is for airborne diseases such as tuberculosis.

Question 3

Which disease requires airborne precautions with an N95 respirator?

Accepted Answer

Tuberculosis

Answer

Tuberculosis spreads through small airborne particles, so an N95 respirator and a negative-pressure room are used. Influenza is droplet; MRSA is contact.

Question 4

Where should a used needle or sharp be disposed of?

Accepted Answer

Puncture-resistant sharps container

Answer

Sharps go straight into a rigid, puncture-resistant sharps container to prevent needlesticks. Trash and laundry bags can be pierced and injure staff.

Question 5

After removing gloves, the CNA should:

Accepted Answer

Perform hand hygiene

Answer

Hand hygiene is required after glove removal because hands may be contaminated during removal. Gloves do not replace handwashing.
