CNA Basic Nursing Skills 19 3

Question 1

When performing passive range-of-motion (ROM) exercises, the CNA should move each joint to the point of:

Accepted Answer

Resistance or pain, then stop

Answer

ROM exercises should be stopped when resistance or pain is felt to prevent injury to the patient's joints.

Question 2

A resident's urine output for an 8-hour shift is 150 mL. The CNA should:

Accepted Answer

Report it immediately to the nurse

Answer

Output below 30 mL/hour (240 mL in 8 hours) is a sign of decreased kidney function and must be reported immediately.

Question 3

Which technique best prevents pressure injuries when repositioning a resident in bed?

Accepted Answer

Using a lift sheet to move the resident

Answer

A lift sheet reduces friction and shear forces on the skin, which are major contributors to pressure injury development.

Question 4

A resident with dysphagia should be fed in which position?

Accepted Answer

Upright at 90 degrees or as close as possible

Answer

An upright position uses gravity to facilitate safe swallowing and reduces the risk of aspiration in residents with dysphagia.

Question 5

When collecting a clean-catch midstream urine specimen from a female resident, the CNA should instruct her to:

Accepted Answer

Begin voiding, stop, then collect midstream

Answer

The initial stream flushes contaminants from the urethra; collecting midstream reduces the risk of specimen contamination.
