Hi Miss Pat just to let you know that I passed this skill (and written as well) today. The 2 other skills were ROM (shoulder) and the UDB. Your videos were very helpful and i like the way you explained the rationale behind the "scoot and turn on your side" . I'm confident to follow them than what my school has taught me. Keep up the good work coz you're a blessing for those who are taking the test.
Thank you for refreshing my memory. I took the test 7 years ago and stopped working due to a high risk pregnancy. I take the test tomorrow. I'm excited but nervous but I got this!!!! Thank you for these videos
Thank you so much for this videos Ms Patty!!! I passed my written and skill test, Your videos are so helpful. I was able to perform all the skills perfectly. I recommend watching these videos 1 week before your test every day until your skill test. You will memorize every step and won't forget.
Hi I want to say thank for all of your videos I passed everything on the first try 🤗🤗🤗 thank you so much your videos helped a lot remember everyone knock, introduce yourself, tell patient what you will be doing last step wash those hands, breathe and u will pass 🤗🤗🤗

Reviewing skills for my test tomorrow! I live in Idaho, testing in Idaho. It’s amazing how limited Idaho CNA’s are to other states. Our testable skills are very basic, but if you work win a clinic or hospital, you will need additional training for specific skills like catheter care or emptying a urinary bag.
Thank you for these videos. I passed in Michigan but I did had to switch up a little because we switched to HEADMASTER IN April but these videos were still helpful. THANK YOU AGAIN Ms. Patty for your time

I enjoy these skills video's & recorded demonstrations very much!! Thank You for trying to help people to learn by visually showing what's involved & we're to be doing. I'm going to be pursuing LPN finally, and although i have some higher random level skills & knowledge\training, I lack in some of this basic, yet vital & critical patient care. One thing that has struck me though as I've watched, the mannequin probably weighs little in comparison to real human beings and are far more awkward and some can be downright difficult or uncooperative, combative.....These are absolute best case scenario with a stellar patient which doesn't happen very often. Even if they are an ideal patient who will work "with" you, it's a struggle to transfer them or turn them, so what then? That's why I wasn't sure how realistic these video's are as this is a best case situation that im questioning would prepare brand new workers for what they'd better be capable of. Another video, an additional man stepped in to hold the mannequin up on her side while a back rub was performed. Well isn't he dandy? Where is that extra person going to appear from in a real-life nursing care facility scenario? I appreciate the learning and being showed how, but it's how realistic these tasks are set up, that I'm skeptical in the lack of realistic depiction. Did not show how we are to physically lift the person for some of these video's, or how we manage them without a convenient spare man standing right there. I'm honestly just trying to give well intentioned feedback as im trying to learn in realistic standards and i hope you understand where im coming from. Im still taking away a lot in the learning process as some of these things never applied to my assigned home health residents and it was actually higher level demands, but the basics are fundemental in preventing infection, injury, illness, worsening conditions, while providing comfort, quality of life, and basic needs of compassion, all of such that all life have a right to.
I would say you have a point, however these videos are meant as a tool to strictly learn the scenarios to pass for the CNA skills exam. I feel as if any course aside from the skills will prepare new CNAs for the possible difficult and realistic scenarios that they will come across while working. Training at a new facility and learning about their patients should take care of the realistic difficulties that will come with the job.

I thought that touching the bed before washing your hands after a skill is an automatic fail? Because your dirty hands are not allowed to touch the inside of their bed?
The very last thing you will do before you leave the room is wash your hands. Touching the bed is not a problem - you have the patient's germs on your hands but the patient (the CAUSE of those germs) is still in the bed too! Hope this helps!
Thank you for your comment! All of our skills meet current testing guidelines and reflect testing scenarios (care plans) that the student will be presented with during testing. Best of luck!
You would then move the patient using the method indicated in the care plan (draw sheet, segment method, asking the patient to scoot toward you or lift their hips, slide sheet, etc.). Everyone is different and will have a different level of ability. Your care plan will give you information on how to work with THIS particular patient, based on their level of ability and conditions. Hope this helps!
Making sure that the bed was raised and using good body mechanics was very important when I was taking my CNA class. I will be taking my Prometric exam soon, do they focus on raising the bed and putting side rails up when you are working on the opposite side of the resident?
This skill is performed according to current Prometric testing standards and scenarios. You are never required to raise the bed to a comfortable working position during the exam (it is not a graded checkpoint) because not all beds in all settings are able to be raised (home care, assisted living facilities, low-income nursing homes and convalescent centers may not have adjustable beds). If you did want to raise the bed, it would be done before you put on your gloves so you don't contaminate your gloves by touching the unclean bed controls. Don't forget to lower the bed at the end of the skill (automatic failure) - the patient expects the floor to be right where they left it and may fall if the floor is not where they expect it to be! Siderails are not required for the exam and their use is not graded, which means that you must provide safety during the skill regardless of side rails. Ensuring that the patient is always in the middle of the bed using the technique in the video will satisfy safety requirements. Thank you!
Morning... I'm a Home Care Provider and have 2 questions. 1 shouldn't the nurse of changed her gloves after the 1st cleaning and replaced them with a clean pair while drying? And 2 won't the chuck slide with the Client when the Nurse is sliding the client from one side to the other causing it to bunch up underneath the Client?
Hi Miss Patty I love your videos! It helps so much when we’re in class practicing for our skills 🤗. I had a question about this skill in particular.. after cleaning the patient would it be okay if we removed the soiled chucks from her BEFORE we did basin cleaning and returning our supplies? I was just thinking how in the video you touched the sink handles, then touched the patient again right after. Would it be okay if we took care of the chucks first, so we don’t contaminate the patient after touching the sink? Thank you so much for all your help! ❤️
I am a caregiver for my mother and was looking for a video to train new PCA's. First, the catheter doesn't sit up that high and the legs need to be bent to reach where it really sits. So this may be helpful for someone passing an exam using a dummy but not helpful at all for the real life situation
We were taught to do everything about like this, except with some steps in reverse. For example, we're instructed to clean the perineal area before the catheter tubing, and starting from the furthest region of the groin (the crevice between the legs), working our way in 'til we get to the penis or labia. Then, we do the catheter tubing. It makes sense to do it this way, being that it's "cleanest" to dirtiest, but I'm not trying to be one of those "this is wrong" sorts of people. Just curious why there are subtle differences in skills between states.
Using the "leaves" method, there is no transfer of pathogens from one area to another, so cleanest to dirtiest does not really apply. The reason it is done this way (general nursing principles) is that you do not want "outside" germs to come into contact with the urethra, which could cause a UTI. Best nursing practices state that when providing female peri care, the urethral area should be cleaned first, then work outward. Again, because of using the "leaves" method the potential for cross contamination is reduced, but this is just general nursing procedure. For the exam, the clinical skills checklist does not indicate a specific method (catheter first or peri area first) nor does it specify outer to inward or innermost to outer. Hope this helps!
Thank you for the thorough response! Maybe that's just my teacher's way of doing things? Also, I should note that there are some errors in the way we're told to perform our skills (from the skills book), and that the nursing board or what have you is in the process of editing it. The current skills book just came out in 2015 though, so it's hard to believe that they're still messing up, but.. I guess. Anyway, yeah, I get what you're saying!
When in doubt, refer to the clinical skills checklist published by Prometric for your specific state. It will indicate the specific testing standards. Best of luck!
Maybe because its 2021 and that skill has changed a little. I love the leaf idea. I thought it was side, side and middle then you turn them over to get the buttock. Enjoyed the video. Learned a little trick there. Thanks a bunch!

I would say you have a point, however these videos are meant as a tool to strictly learn the scenarios to pass for the CNA skills exam. I feel as if any course aside from the skills will prepare new CNAs for the possible difficult and realistic scenarios that they will come across while working. Training at a new facility and learning about their patients should take care of the realistic difficulties that will come with the job.
@@Sephushx she missed some critical steps. In Va they say you have to put the bed rail up before you go to the other side & she forgot to wash the pt butt.

Very helpful and educative. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your vedio that I passed my CNA with first attempt 🙏❤❤❤
I did my state exam today and pass on my first attempt. Your videos and lectures help 💯% in passing the written and clinical .
Congratulations
I thought that touching the bed before washing your hands after a skill is an automatic fail? Because your dirty hands are not allowed to touch the inside of their bed?
The very last thing you will do before you leave the room is wash your hands. Touching the bed is not a problem - you have the patient's germs on your hands but the patient (the CAUSE of those germs) is still in the bed too! Hope this helps!
thanks so much for this video. this is really helpful and am about to do my practical exam this month, watching this gave me more confident (:
I really Love your videos... they are so detailed and organized! I'm looking forward to acing my Prometric test tomorrow!!
We wish you luck! Let us know how you do! :-)
I have to study!!I really want this.
We are so happy that you are finding our videos helpful as you prepare for the exam! Best of luck!
100%. I did this skill for my California CNA exam.
Thank you for your comment! All of our skills meet current testing guidelines and reflect testing scenarios (care plans) that the student will be presented with during testing. Best of luck!

So what happens in a situation where the patient cannot scoot back and forth. How do you place the underpads.
You would then move the patient using the method indicated in the care plan (draw sheet, segment method, asking the patient to scoot toward you or lift their hips, slide sheet, etc.). Everyone is different and will have a different level of ability. Your care plan will give you information on how to work with THIS particular patient, based on their level of ability and conditions. Hope this helps!
I take my test next week and this will help me a lot
Hello Dear
How are you doing today?
Making sure that the bed was raised and using good body mechanics was very important when I was taking my CNA class. I will be taking my Prometric exam soon, do they focus on raising the bed and putting side rails up when you are working on the opposite side of the resident?
This skill is performed according to current Prometric testing standards and scenarios. You are never required to raise the bed to a comfortable working position during the exam (it is not a graded checkpoint) because not all beds in all settings are able to be raised (home care, assisted living facilities, low-income nursing homes and convalescent centers may not have adjustable beds). If you did want to raise the bed, it would be done before you put on your gloves so you don't contaminate your gloves by touching the unclean bed controls. Don't forget to lower the bed at the end of the skill (automatic failure) - the patient expects the floor to be right where they left it and may fall if the floor is not where they expect it to be! Siderails are not required for the exam and their use is not graded, which means that you must provide safety during the skill regardless of side rails. Ensuring that the patient is always in the middle of the bed using the technique in the video will satisfy safety requirements. Thank you!
Awesome! Thanks so much for your help... Will these steps correlate with the Delaware Prometric exam?
+Emily Malloy Yes. These videos meet the clinical skills checkpoints for Prometric testing in all states that use Prometric. Best of luck!
Sherry Taylor-Reynolds I test in Florida and we don't put up side rails
Where did you go to school? I will also be testing in Delaware so your comment surprised me because this is such a small state!
Can i wear glove when start bathing resident or im when i glove to remove chuck first
I fail my written state Texas exam last week. Any tips where to get study guide miss patty.
Morning...
I'm a Home Care Provider and have 2 questions. 1 shouldn't the nurse of changed her gloves after the 1st cleaning and replaced them with a clean pair while drying? And 2 won't the chuck slide with the Client when the Nurse is sliding the client from one side to the other causing it to bunch up underneath the Client?
Hi Miss Patty I love your videos! It helps so much when we’re in class practicing for our skills 🤗.
I had a question about this skill in particular.. after cleaning the patient would it be okay if we removed the soiled chucks from her BEFORE we did basin cleaning and returning our supplies? I was just thinking how in the video you touched the sink handles, then touched the patient again right after. Would it be okay if we took care of the chucks first, so we don’t contaminate the patient after touching the sink? Thank you so much for all your help! ❤️
*I’m saying we, because I’m asking on behalf of my other classmates and I who were curious lol.
Hi guys does it matter if you do the perineal first?
Do it matter how you close ? Like can you get the padding from under her first ?
I am a caregiver for my mother and was looking for a video to train new PCA's. First, the catheter doesn't sit up that high and the legs need to be bent to reach where it really sits. So this may be helpful for someone passing an exam using a dummy but not helpful at all for the real life situation
I was taught to do pericare first before catheter care, does it matter which order you do them on the exam or just as long as you clean both???
Me too and I was told just a wipe on each side and concentrate on the catheter
hi i pass my exam on Friday thanks to ur videos
Congratulations! We are happy you found our videos helpful and wish you the best of luck in your new career!
Yes it was and thanks a lot
Nurse Patty loves magazines!😊
:)
I’m ready to start my career as a new cna 👐👐
That's awesome! Healthcare needs great heros! :-)
doing gods work with these videos
We were taught to do everything about like this, except with some steps in reverse. For example, we're instructed to clean the perineal area before the catheter tubing, and starting from the furthest region of the groin (the crevice between the legs), working our way in 'til we get to the penis or labia. Then, we do the catheter tubing. It makes sense to do it this way, being that it's "cleanest" to dirtiest, but I'm not trying to be one of those "this is wrong" sorts of people. Just curious why there are subtle differences in skills between states.
Using the "leaves" method, there is no transfer of pathogens from one area to another, so cleanest to dirtiest does not really apply. The reason it is done this way (general nursing principles) is that you do not want "outside" germs to come into contact with the urethra, which could cause a UTI. Best nursing practices state that when providing female peri care, the urethral area should be cleaned first, then work outward. Again, because of using the "leaves" method the potential for cross contamination is reduced, but this is just general nursing procedure. For the exam, the clinical skills checklist does not indicate a specific method (catheter first or peri area first) nor does it specify outer to inward or innermost to outer. Hope this helps!
Thank you for the thorough response! Maybe that's just my teacher's way of doing things? Also, I should note that there are some errors in the way we're told to perform our skills (from the skills book), and that the nursing board or what have you is in the process of editing it. The current skills book just came out in 2015 though, so it's hard to believe that they're still messing up, but.. I guess.
Anyway, yeah, I get what you're saying!
When in doubt, refer to the clinical skills checklist published by Prometric for your specific state. It will indicate the specific testing standards. Best of luck!
Maybe because its 2021 and that skill has changed a little. I love the leaf idea. I thought it was side, side and middle then you turn them over to get the buttock. Enjoyed the video. Learned a little trick there. Thanks a bunch!
I take my test on Tuesday , & i'm so excited to get it done. These videos are awesome and extremely helpful so I feel very confident.
We wish you luck as you test and are happy that you are finding our videos helpful as you prepare! Let us know how you do! Best of luck!
