Hi guys, just wanted to let you know I took my CNA test after watching these videos and I passed. These videos are lovely as a teaching guide and a review before taking the exam. However, the other person I took my test with told me she failed because she didn't wash her hands after taking off her gloves. I don't know how other states test, but during the CNA exam in Florida, always make sure you wash your hands as soon as you take off your gloves, no matter what skill you are performing.
Good luck to everyone and thank you so much Patti for posting these videos!
When exactly? She takes off her gloves twice during this skill. If you are talking about at the end of the video, she just simulated washing her hands so its assumed she did after the skill was completed. Does she have to wash them also at 2:43 before lowering the bed also? Please let me know. I'm taking it in Florida in a few days
As
Max Pill did you found out?
@@maxp6521 When she took off her gloves after placing the bedpan underneath she doesn’t wash her hands before raising head of bed. In the steps of skills it says Wash Hands.
Hey I have a question?
Thank you for the videos! I watched all day before my test and the day of my test ton the ride to my testing site. I passed! I’m soo happy. I was very nervous, but God was with me. Thank you
Oh and I passed!
Congratulations! We are very happy that you found our videos helpful and we wish you the very best of luck in your new career! :-)
@STAR W they test 5 skills in 30 minutes but you have the multiple choice test for 2 hours before the skills test
Amen 🙏🏽
I'm taking mine on Monday so nervous n scared
Tip for the handwashing folks: if you're in doubt, say you would wash your hands anyways! You could never fail for washing your hands when you aren't supposed to, but you will fail if you don't wash them when you are. Better to be safe than sorry
That’s what I’m planning to do, on this skill I’ll wash my hands 5 times
Thxs I will definitely do so!
That’s very helpful! Thank you
That's very true
Il wash my hands even after the procedure is finished lmao

Thank you very much for your Skills practice videos. I did not get the chance to learn all the Skills in class or Clinic due to Covid-19 restrictions. Luckily, your videos saved my life. I passed both my Exams last Friday and I am now officially Licensed CNA. I just wanted to say Thank you, God Bless you!!!!
How do you like it?
Great video but when you leave the bed side and the bed is elevated don’t forget to elevate the side rail for patient safety until the bed is lowered to the lowest position!
Wow she really improved...I'm glad to see a new updated video ...I've passed my exam over a year ago and my career is going great thanks for the videos
Thank you for such a wonderful comment! We are so happy that you like the new format...please tell others about us! We are very happy to hear that your career is going well and wish you great success in the future! :-)

Great job, congratulations! We are super proud of you! Tune in to our Live Q&A Session on Thursday at 3pm (ET) for your congratulations shoutout!
I prefer the way you teach this skill. In WA we were taught differently and do not place a chucks prior to placing the bedpan and we cover the bedpan with a hand towel after removing it before emptying and rinsing it. This way is cleaner and more effecient as the chucks provides the cover for the bedpan! I appreciate the additional learning from your videos. Love that I can pause or rewatch and review them. With sincere thanks.
Thank you! We are happy you are finding our videos helpful! Best of luck!
Thank you so much. I passed my exam by only watching your videos

Congratulations! We are very proud of you and wish you the best of luck in your new career!
That is awesome! Congratulations! We are happy you found our videos helpful!
Thank u so much all these video, they are a great help. Okay so what do u do in the case where the patient is not able to adjust the bed pan?
Honestly, it varies between states. In NC there are 4-5 glove changes. You gather the supplies while wearing gloves and when you come back to the room you change gloves. You need a towel or something to lay the bedpan on while you change gloves. They will also fail you if you place the bedpan on the table. This is one of the skills that i struggle with the most because of so many glove changes. The skill itself is not so bad, it is just remembering when to do what.
The bedpan is not placed on the overbed table, that is correct, because it is an eating surface. However, you do not need to lay the bedpan anywhere. Leave it in the bedside cabinet until you are ready to place it under the patient, after placing the chucks under the patient. 4-5 glove changes is a bit excessive, and the evaluator may limit your glove use as this is not a nursing principle and an unnecessary expense for the testing center. Two sets of gloves is adequate, one set while placing the bedpan and one set while removing it. Hope this helps!
She did not change or discard her soiled gloves which had been holding the soiled bedpan before turning on the water on the sink. There is no way this is acceptable for any testing.
@@tonyahollowell7609 well for prometric it is, takes a quick google search.
Just wanted to thank you i passed my CNA exam skills ❤TX

Pass my Florida State Exam its my first attempt 4/5/22 thanks so much for sharing you knowledge 🙏
Hi i take my cna exam in Florida on Tuesday how many skills did you get
I take mines next week I love in Fl too how many skills and what were yours
This lady is textbook. Like just her vibe radiates comfort, u can tell shes a mother and used to taking care of ppl
I noticed the turning siderail is up. Will we need to make sure that only one side is up for exam? And will we need to make sure it goes down after?
Its so different in Colorado...our class from last semester failed because they used barriers...I personally don't know the whole story but I finished my clinical's last week...and am freaking out! I really hope I pass my state exam....
It doesn't make sense not to use a chucks when assisting with a bedpan because you will have sloshing when moving the head of the bed up and down. I think there was probably more to the story than you were told. You will receive a print out after you perform your skills test that details what critical steps you missed - this will provide information you can use to improve your performance in the future. Best of luck!
I take my tests tomorrow and I’m pretty nervous.. for my class I was shown to raise the bed for skills you might bend over for.. should I skip this step because I’m leaving the patient alone in the room or just lower them with them on the bed pan and raise it when I come back in
You do everything well . Thank you so much
I noticed a barrier wasnt used for the table in this video. I am confused about that . I thought you need to use a barrier on the table, if you will be putting something on it ? Thank you.
hi miss patty im from florida and im an international nurse from th Philippines and i want to challenge my exam for CNA state of Florida my exam is on Sept 27 ,2018 and i still have 19 days left before my exam and i keep watching your video over and over and practicing it and i think im ready , I finish also your online CNA free course it was really helpful and Im thankful for these videos .But i will let you know if I pass my Cna exam..Thank you.
We hope you were successful and are happy that you found our resources helpful! :-)
I'm going for my state exam on April the 10 in Lynwood Washington
We wish you the best of luck on your exam! Let us know how you do!! :-)
I have always been told to wash hands after taking gloves off.
You do not have to physically go to the sink and wash your hands the second you take them off. You are permitted to do your closing first. The privacy curtain, the call light, etc. are not clean (patients, staff, visitors all touch them), so you MUST wash your hands before you leave the patient environment. This is a specific requirement. You can remove your gloves, wash your hands and do the closing, but then you would need to wash your hands again before leaving the room to meet testing standards. It's not necessary and not a graded checkpoint. Hope this helps!
Gloving and de-gloving are always two steps: hand washing (or hand sanitizing) immediately before applying (even if you washed when you entered room) and immediately after removing gloves, before touching anything else. **Even if not required by the state, it absolutely best practice.**
Yup, you're correct!
@@staceyhoey7260 I totally agree with you. This lady use her barehand received patient’s dirty wipes without gloves. Seriously?
Even if we put a chux over the bed table, are we allowed to put the bed pan on top
Of the table? Or a bed pan is not allowed at all?
Thanks CNA I learned a lot from you.. God bless 🙏 you
My pleasure!
sure hope these will help here in Sacramento, California with the red cross!!!!
Janis Quinn which school did you attend? also took my cna courses in Sacramento and the school I went to did poorly in preparing us for our state test.
Hi thank you for your videos! I passed both my written and clinical test today!!! I didn't go to any training school. Just studied from your videos. Only problem is that my evaluator would not allow me to ask the patient to adjust their bedpan while I moved the head of the bed and she would not allow me to ask them if the bedpan felt comfortable. Other than that I did well!
That's strange. Thanks for the heads up!
I have a question, since you used a napkin to open the draw to put bedpan away. Shouldn't you have used it in the beginning to open it as well? or would gloves be needed? Im wondering if it didn't matter because you washed hands
thanks for your video, benefit for me. I have a question for you guys. after you remove the bedpan, you are not supposed to do the perineal care?
The care plan states that the patient can wipe themselves, so peri care is not required for the CNA to perform on this patient. Of course, every patient is different and will require a different level of care,. based on their specific abilities. Always follow the care plan, because they are individualized for each patient. But for the exam, the "patient" will not need peri care. Thank you for your question and best of luck!
Do you need raise the bed to working level , then leave bed in lowest position when you give patient the bedpan and leave to give them privacy ?
If you failed your first cna skills test, do they test you on the same skills the second time around?
I have a question after you got your supplies you didn't have the a barrier on the table before you put the supplies can you explain that plz ❤️
You can put your supplies on a barrier, but I personally don't like toileting items placed on a eating surface (even with a barrier, that's pretty yucky!), so I demonstrate this without using the overbed table. You can do it either way for the exam. Best of luck!
is privacy blanket required or with the blanket in them itself is fine ?
Thank you so much your video is very helpful
Hi, I live in Wisconsin and will be taking my test soon. I was taught to raise the bed for proper body mechanics and to raise the bed rail if I'm not on that side. I noticed you don't do that in this video or your other instructional videos. Is there a reason why? and if I do raise the bed/rails at my Exam can I touch the up/down arrow button and the rails with my gloves? Your advice will be greatly appreciated!
That's a lot of questions at once! I'll try to answer them all... 1) you are not REQUIRED to raise the bed, but you can if you want (see the video on raising the bed here: th-cam.com/video/ljQb9PnSQIg/w-d-xo.html ) 2) You are not graded on siderail use during the exam because you need a doctor's order to use siderails (they are a restraint). 3) You should not touch anything but the patient with your gloves - would you want dirty gloves in your mouth for mouth care or around your private areas for bedpan? Keep your gloves clean for the patient. You can learn more about gloves here: th-cam.com/video/AQa9RYK1BI4/w-d-xo.html. You might find our online CNA Test Prep program helpful. It is located on courses.4YourCNA.com. This is a totally FREE course and it covers all of these principles and MORE. It was created especially for students that are getting ready to test. Check it out!
I have one question I thought we’re not supposed to dry bedpan but instead but it dirty utilities after we rinse it 🤔
Does prometric require us to use a privet blanket on this skill?
Aren't you suppose to wash your hands as soon as you enter BEFORE you touch ANYTHING in the patients room?
No. You wash your hands at the beginning of the skill to prevent the spread of germs from you to the patient and you wash your hands at the end of every skill to prevent the spread of germs from the patient to you. Please visit 4yourcna.com/index.php/2017/07/31/when-do-you-wash-your-hands/ for a complete answer to your question. Thank you for your question!
In Ohio I was taught to hand sanitize before and wash after
Do you wash your hands when you come back in to empty the bedpan
Thank you for this video! Where would you dispose of the used tissue?
There will be a trash can near the bed, you can dispose of it there! Join us for our Live Q&A session here on our TH-cam channel Thursdays (today!) at 3pm Eastern. Hope to see you there!
May CNA exam is March 31 2020 thanks for sharing
How did you do? What materials you use to study for the written portion
i learned this a little differently in my classes, they said we would turn the patient on their side and place the bedpan under them as though they could not lift their hips. im in NY can this be for the location or would it specify pt has mobility?
also arent we supposed to be checking wristbands for every skill?
The care plan for this skill states that the patient can move as directed, which means that they can lift their hips if you ask them too. That makes this skill a lot easier! However, in a clinical setting, if a patient cannot lift their hip then rolling them to the side is a good alternative. Either way can be used for the test. Wristbands are not used for the exam. You will identify your patient by name. Patients that cannot self-identify (respond appropriately to their name or state their name) would be identified by the RN as unable to self-identify and the care plan would indicate how you were supposed to identify that individual. For the exam, this is not the case. You are only graded on calling them by name. If you are treating the wrong patient, they will let you know. Just like you in the doctor's office - you don't have a wristband telling the nurse and doctor who you are. In home care, ambulatory care, outpatient care, residential care (assisted living facilities, adult day care, nursing homes), there will be no wristbands. You are required to identify your patient by name. Hope this helps!
What about making sure the bed wheels is locked
so we don't ask them to roll to side to position bed pan under butt?? we can ask them to lift?
Jw why no disinfectant spray in the bed pan? I know I've seen you use it in other videos, maybe those were outdated?
For the test do you need to step out the room and come back ?
Why you didn’t use a paper to open the forced when you clean the basin ?
The only problem with these training videos (and training videos in general) is that the patients are able-bodied and cooperative. How am I supposed to place a bedpan if the patient can't or won't lift their hips?
You turn them to their side.
Incontinence briefs
Thank you, great videos, my Florida state exam next Friday, I wonder if I have to wash my hands after removing the gloves first time?
yes before and after
You will wash your hands at the beginning of every skill (before touching the patient) and at the end of every skill (before leaving the patient's environment). You may also wash your hands immediately after removing gloves, but as long as you wash before leaving the room, it is acceptable for the exam. Hope this helps!
Ms patty for state boards do I have to raise the bed to do this bed pan skill? Or do I only have to raise the head of the bed ?And also for partial bed bath do I have to use gloves for partial bed bath?
Raising the bed to a comfortable working height is not REQUIRED for any skill in Florida (or any Prometric-testing state). It IS required in some other states, however, so check with your state board for clarification if unsure. When assisting with a bedpan, you do need to elevate the head of the bed. This is because the patient is lying flat when you put the bedpan under the patient's bottom, to the bedpan elevates their bottom which means they would have to pee uphill. Elevating the head of the bed is necessary to get them into a natural elimination position. Gloves are required for partial bed bath since you are washing their face (wet body openings: mouth, nose, eyes) which can expose you to body fluids so that requires gloves. Hope this helps!
Hi Patty, is it mandatory to have a paper towel in the hand that you use to open the drawer. I know that you must have it in the hand that is holding the bedpan for return to the storage unit.
Since you have not washed your hands, they are not considered clean. You don't want to touch the outside of the drawer with a dirty hand (or, in this case, glove) because that drawer will be touched by clean hands later for other skills. The drawer front should never be touched with dirty hands/gloves - this is an infection control principle. It helps keep the patient's environment clean! Hope this helps!
I passed my skills and I have to do my written test over any suggestions for oklahoma written test
Bedpan was rinsed with water only? Not washed with soap and water?
Great job! What about the patients who have hip fractures or can't lift?
Care plans would indicate the proper performance of each skill for every specific patient. So, if you had a patient unable to lift their hips, their care plan would instruct you to roll that patient to the side to place the bedpan and remove it. Always follow the Care Plan for each patient! Best of luck!
Thank u Ms.Patty, I passed my Board a few weeks ago🎉
Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey into healthcare! We are so proud of you! We would love to congratulate you! Like and subscribe to be notified when we go live!
I take my state exam on Monday wish me luck! I’m super excited and nervous
do we need to dray a bad pen?
So the bedpan only gets dumped, rinsed once, wiped with paper towels and put right back into the drawer and then the drawer gets closed with the paper towels that just wiped out the unsanitized bedpan?? Is this right?
In pearson vue book it states hand wipes are to be given to client w toilet paper.
A hand wipe was offered to the patient at the end of the skill prior to the closing. Different states have different checkpoints. Please refer to the checklist for your state. These videos are intended for Prometric testing states. Thank you for your comment!
Is it still recommend in Miami (the state of Florida) to check the wrist for identification for any skill as of 2017 when taking the exam?
Prometric testing in Florida will not have ID bands to check during the exam. You will identify your patient by name prior to beginning the skill. Hope this helps! Best of luck!
Are you taking the Exam soon in Miami?
Yes I am. I'm just waiting for a date to be assigned to me.
+Iesha J Sorry I missed this question! For the exam, the patient can self identify (think of yourself in the doctor's office - if they call you by the wrong name, you would immediately correct them) so you will simply say their name when introducing yourself. No ID bands will be used during the test. Best of luck!
Would this work with prometric?
I watched your videos and took my state exam in Texas they were helpful but I failed😒. I forgot to lower bed and call light on one of my steps.
Also, in my CNA class, we never used bath blankets on many of the skills. Is this OK to do at state? We only exposed the bare minimum, only what was necessary. It doesn't say on the Prometric study guide that you have to use a bath blanket, is this OK?
The problem with not using a bath blanket is that the sheet is likely to become soiled or wet during the procedure. Using a bath blanket is a good way to keep the patient's linens clean during the skill, since the bath blanket is removed and the linens restored after the skill is complete. You don't HAVE to use it, but it is preferred and the evaluator may mark off an indirect care checkpoint for not using one if they feel that the patient should have had one. Hope this helps!
The privacy blanket,you were not wearing gloves when removing it. Is the blanket counted as dirty linen? And are you supposed to wear gloves when removing it?
You do not want to touch the sheet that will go right up next to their face with dirty gloves. You will wash your hands after removing the privacy blanket and performing the closing, but you cannot touch the sheet with those soiled gloves. Hope this helps!

I need to ask that after removing our gloves do we have to wash hands in this skill and then again when will enter to empty bad pan after doing the HOB at lower position will we wash hands and wear gloves?
I made a video on "Removing gloves." This should help cover all of your questions! th-cam.com/video/AjwfVT4fsH4/w-d-xo.html
Having my skills exam here in guam.. I'm so confused on which to follow... I guess ill ask before I start.
+kristel durp I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with Guam standards, so i am unable to give you specific information. However, our videos utilize best nursing practices whuch are universal. It's the specific scenario and types of skills that may be different. Best of luck!
Do you have to wash your hands when you leave the room the first time? (while theyre using the bedban)
No, because you don't have any other patients and are not actually leaving the room, so you don't have to wash your hands because you are staying in the room. But in a clinical setting, where you have many patients, you would wash your hands before leaving the room while the patient uses the bedpan and wash your hands when you re-enter the room, before putting on your gloves and removing the bedpan. Our online Test Prep course might be helpful as you prepare! Available for FREE (for a limited time) on courses.4YourCNA.com.Best of luck!
There's no privacy blanket on the check points.... do I still need to use one since the have on a gown
Yes, a privacy blanket should be used anytime the patient is uncovered or undressed. Please see the video on privacy blankets th-cam.com/video/vqfKR2YyWXo/w-d-xo.html for more information on this topic. Use of a privacy blanket is graded under "Indirect care" checkpoints.
So no barrier for table needed?
Hi I will be taking my exam for Connecticut soon. I have been practicing a lot for the exam, the written part that is. The skills not too much, my question to you is can I pass by just watching the videos?
Performing the skills is the best way of preparing for the state exam. It's like driving...watching someone else drive may give you a vague idea of how to drive (2 pedals, a steering wheel, turn signals) but would you try to take a driving test without ever practicing behind the wheel?
