✍️ Sample General Questions & Answers

1. During a shift change report, what is the most important information to communicate to the incoming staff?
✓ Any changes in the resident's condition that occurred during the shift

Changes in condition are critical to communicate during handoff so incoming staff can prioritize monitoring and care accordingly.

2. When taking an adult resident's radial pulse, which of the following findings should the CNA report to the nurse immediately?
✓ A rate of 110 beats per minute that is weak and thready.

A normal resting heart rate for an adult is typically between 60 and 100 beats per minute. A rate of 110 bpm is considered tachycardia (a fast heart rate). When combined with a weak and thready quality, it can indicate a serious underlying issue, such as dehydration or shock, and must be reported to the nurse immediately for further assessment.

3. A CNA discovers a large wet area on the floor near a patient's bed. What is the priority action?
✓ Clean and dry the area immediately or place a wet floor warning sign

A wet floor is an immediate fall hazard that must be corrected or marked before someone is injured — safety action precedes documentation.

4. Malnutrition in a long-term care resident can lead to:
✓ Pressure ulcers, weakened immunity, and muscle loss

Malnutrition impairs wound healing, weakens the immune system, and causes muscle wasting, increasing overall health risks.

5. Which position is safest for feeding a resident at risk for aspiration?
✓ Sitting upright at 90 degrees or as close as possible

An upright seated position uses gravity to help direct food toward the esophagus and reduces aspiration risk.

6. When taking a radial pulse, the CNA places their fingers on the:
✓ Thumb side of the inner wrist

The radial pulse is felt on the thumb side of the inner wrist where the radial artery is close to the surface.
