    No. You will not be graded on side rail usage for the exam and this means that even if you use the side rails, they will not count. You must provide for safety regardless of side rail usage because many settings do not use side rails (they are a restraint). Scoot the patient toward you before turning so they remain in the middle of the bed to ensure safety.

    The overbed table is not considered clean (patients may have put used kleenex, urinals, etc on it) so you should put some type of barrier on the top of the table to provide a clean surface for the pillows. Privacy blankets should be used to protect privacy and keep the patient warm anytime the sheet has been removed. Not providing privacy is an invasion of patient's rights, which is a graded point for the exam on all skills. You should use the blanket when you test. Good luck!

    The one thing/step that these videos forget is elevating (either the head of head and the entire bed too) the bed and lowering the bed once finished with the skill or helping the patient with what ever needs to be done. Other then that most of the steps in theses cna skills videos are spot on.

  • @4yourcna

    Raising the bed to a comfortable height is optional (but don't forget to put it down at the end, if you do raise it). Siderail use is not graded on the exam, and many testing facilities won't even have siderails because siderails are considered a restraint and cannot be present in many settings so you must learn how to accomplish these skills safely without the use of siderails. Scoot the patient toward you and roll them away from you so they are on their side in the center of the bed. Thanks!

  • @4yourcna
    @4yourcna  11 лет назад +2

    Yes, you will get your exam results on the day of the test, as you leave the testing center. You will receive two results, one for written and one for skills. Both portions must be passed for certification.

  • @4yourcna
    @4yourcna  12 лет назад +2

    @annieD72 Yes, that is acceptable, however it will require more effort on your part and may injure the patient needlessly. By bending the leg first, the body weight is shifted toward the side you are turning them on, making the roll much easier on both of you! Save your back - bend their knee! Thank you for your comment!

  • @4yourcna
    @4yourcna  12 лет назад +1

    In a clinical setting, you would have to scoot the patient toward you in sections. For the exam, to prevent injury to yourself or the "patient", you are allowed to ask the patient to scoot toward you at the beginning of the skill. You will not be allowed to use items like draw sheets or additional staff to move patients safety for the exam and they do not want injuries, so they allow this action FOR THE EXAM only. Thanks and good luck!

  • @4yourcna
    @4yourcna  12 лет назад +1

    We are putting up new instructional videos with close-up camera views of many of the skills. I do not know when this one will get completed and processed, however. The first pillow goes behind the patient's back, the second one between the knees AND ankles, the third one under the upper arm to keep it in alignment and then you have to adjust the pillow under the patient's head to make sure it is NOT under the shoulder, only the head and neck. Hope that helps! Thanks for the question!

  • @4yourcna
    @4yourcna  12 лет назад

    I am glad that you are finding our videos helpful as you prepare for the state exam. Good luck!

  • @4yourcna
    @4yourcna  12 лет назад +1

    The pillow between the legs is positioned to support both the knees and the ankles, when positioned properly. Putting two pillows between the legs may be uncomfortable for the patient and is unnecessary (you will not always have adequate supplies if you use that many pillows). The blanket removal does not cause shearing if the blanket is repositioned with every pillow placement to keep the blanket from becoming wrapped up around the patient or the pillows. Good luck!

  • @4yourcna
    @4yourcna  11 лет назад +1

    Providing privacy is important in every skill, as it is an important patient right. You can provide privacy with the sheet on the bed or the privacy blanket. I prefer the blanket because it allows easy access to the feet, but you can use either. Good luck!

  • @4yourcna
    @4yourcna  12 лет назад +2

    Flash cards on the skills will assist you in learning the specific steps and reviewing these videos should help you remember how to perform these skills when you test. It is always best to physically practice these skills yourself to help develop a "muscle memory" to increase your comfort level when performing the skills for the test. Good luck on the test!

  • @4yourcna
    @4yourcna  12 лет назад +2

    @phillbanger These videos reflect curent Florida state standards. You will need to check with your state for their specific requirements. That being said, these basic skills require the same infection control standards, safety considerations and patient rights in all states. There may be minor differences in how these physical skills are taught or tested, but the basics will remain uniform according to best nursing practices. Thank you for your comment!

  • @4yourcna
    @4yourcna  12 лет назад +1

    Yes, you have to verbalize somehow that you are finished with the first task assigned and moving on to the next. You may make any corrections necessary on that skill up until you verbalize that you are finished. Good luck!

    Yes, the pillowcase opening should be away from the door (this is explained in the instructional video and in our classroom program). The pillow between the legs should also have the pillowcase opening facing downward. These videos (demonstrational) are designed to demonstrate the skills but do not provide comprehensive teaching. View our Instructional videos for greater comprehension. Good luck!

    No. A pillow in this position is not necessary unless specified in the care plan. You do not want bony areas to touch (that is the reason for the pillow between the legs) but if the patient has particularly bony ankles, inadequate protein intake, poor skin integrity, impaired circulation or another condition such as diabetes the RN may specify that all bony prominences in contact with the mattress be padded. In this case we often use an alternating pressure mattress but every case is different.

  • @4yourcna
    @4yourcna  12 лет назад +1

    For the exam, the patient will be able to be positioned as demonstrated in the video. This keeps the patient from lying on their arm for an extended period of time. If you have a situation, with a real patient, where this is not possible, you will need to talk to the nurse about possible ways to adjust the skill for that specific patient. Testing will use another candidate as your patient for all skills except personal care skills, which will use a manikin (peri-care, partial bedbath, dressing)

    Privacy is important with EVERY skill you do. Think about how you would feel lying in the bed. Take the time to talk with the patient, explain what you are doing each step of the way and protect their privacy and dignity. It is the right thing to do and it is what you would want when you are the patient.

  • @4yourcna
    @4yourcna  12 лет назад

    Yes, you may wear gloves when you handle linen. It is not required for the exam (since they are not soiled with body fluids) but you may wear them if you wish! Just be careful in what you touch with your gloves before and after the skill so that you do not violate infection control standards. It is important to recognize clean vs dirty areas and not cross-contaminate. Thanks!

  • @4yourcna
    @4yourcna  12 лет назад

    You may adjust the height of the entire bed if you prefer to do so, but it is NOT a requirement for the state exam. The state exam understands that not all settings have adjustable beds (home care and assisted living, for instance), therefore this is not a requirement. If you do wish to raise the bed, you should do so before handwashing because the bed controls are not clean and you do not want to contaminate your clean hands after handwashing. Thanks and good luck!

    @4yourcna  11 лет назад +1

    In the state of Florida, you are NOT graded on the use of side rails. You CANNOT rely solely on side rails to keep your patient safe. You MUST scoot the patient toward you then turn them on their side so that they are in the center of the bed. Using side rails to keep a patient in the bed is a restraint. This is a FEDERAL law, no matter what you teacher said.

  • @4yourcna
    @4yourcna  11 лет назад

    You can use the sheet if you prefer, but it is hard to place the pillow between the legs when using the sheet. It also tends to wrap around the patient when turning. Many people find it easier to use the privacy blanket (plus, it is consistent with othe skills) but you may use the sheet, if you prefer. Just maintain privacy in some way during the skill.

  • @4yourcna
    @4yourcna  11 лет назад

    Yes, you should limit the wrinkles under the patient as wrinkles will contribute to bedsore formation. However, it is next to impossible to remove ALL wrinkles under the patient and is not expected on the exam. Just smooth the sheet as best you can, considering there is a person in the bed. Good luck!

  • @4yourcna
    @4yourcna  12 лет назад +1

    I am sorry that you are experiencing confusion. These videos were created using Florida Guidelines and developed by an RN utilizing best nursing practice principles. The clinical skills checklist (located on Prometric's website, the testing agency) does not specify this as a testing checkpoint, so you will not be graded on which way you roll your patient, as long as you keep the patient safe. Rolling away from you is the accepted practice and generally done for the test. Good luck!

    Your opening is "Hi, Mrs Jones (identifying patient), my name is Patti and I am your CNA today. I am going to change your position, is that ok?" This identifies the patient by name (armbands are not used in all settings and cannot be relied on to be correct), identifies yourself by name and title, tells the patient why you are there and obtains permission. Hope this helps!

  • @stevenwilliams5403
    @stevenwilliams5403 10 лет назад

    in my class...well in the book we are learning in the book says to position the arms across the chest before rolling a resident and or patient on to his or her side. but i have seen two videos on here in which you have raised the arm above the head. so i assume its correct. also i noted the leg being lifted, not to insert the pillow but to position on the side. that was also new to me. but i also assume this is correct. im very detail-oriented and i do not want to fail but i see some videos that are not as accurate as yours. but i will use your technique yet also following the prometrus guidelines they will be using. but your videos have taught me to be more cofident and comfortable when doing these skills. thank-you.

    Gloves are optional for this skill for the exam. Gloves should be worn if you are going to be exposed to body fluids or touching personal skin. This patient is continent (able to hold their bowels and bladder) and fully clothed, so there is no possibility of contact with personal skin or body fluids, therefore gloves are not necessary. If you are unsure of what is under a patient in a clinical setting, by all means, wear gloves! But for the exam, it is not necessary. Thanks and good luck!

    This was not "left out" because it is not a testing standard. Providing water is a function dictated by the care plan. There will be patients that cannot have water because they are on fluid restrictions. Because of that, this step is NOT TESTED. You will ask about comfort and if the patient needs anything else at the end of the skill, but providing a cup of water is not tested. Thanks!

  • @4yourcna
    @4yourcna  12 лет назад

    Siderails are not graded during the Florida exam because siderails will not be present in every setting (they are considered a restraint). Therefore, you must be able to perform the skill safely without the use of siderails. This skill demonstrates how to perform the skill without siderails. You may choose to use siderails (if they are available) during the test, but you should position the patient in the center of the bed for safety, even with siderails. Good luck!

  • @4yourcna
    @4yourcna  11 лет назад

    First, you will NOT elevate the head of the bed for this skill. You cannot position the patient properly if the head of the bed is up. Second, the entire bed may be raised to a comfortable working height if you wish, but it is NOT REQUIRED for the exam. This is not mentioned in the video because it is not a testing standard. These videos reflect current testing standards. Raising the bed will be covered in a classroom setting where the safety implications can be covered more completely. Thanks!

    No, you do not need gloves on this skill. You only need gloves if: 1) you will be touching body fluids 2) you will be touching non-intact skin (wounds, rashes, incisions) or 3) you will be touching "personal" skin, such as the genitals. None of those apply, so gloves are not necessary. Good luck.

    • @4yourcna
      @4yourcna  8 лет назад +1

      For the exam, you are not required to raise the bed to a comfortable working height - this is NOT a testing standard. You may raise it if you wish, but if you raise it, it MUST be lowered at the end of the skill to prevent the patient from falling (because the floor won't be where the patient left it...). Since this step is NOT required and can cause you to fail, it isn't demonstrated in the video. Height adjustable beds are not present in every patient care setting (home care, assisted living, low income nursing facilities, etc.) so it is not a required step. Thank you for your comment.

    You do not have to state that you will or won't use gloves. If gloves are needed (if you are going to be touching any body fluids, non-intact skin or personal skin), then you should apply your gloves at the proper time. If you do not need gloves, you do not have to say anything about gloves. Good luck.

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. Since it is not a required step for testing, it is not demonstrated in these videos. Please remember that if you DO elevate the bed to a comfortable height, you MUST lower it at the end of the skill (because the patient expects the floor to be right where they left it when they got into that bed). Hope this helps!

    I was taught to roll resident TOWARDS you not AWAY. If you roll the patient away, the patient may fall. Its safer for the resident to go the other side and roll them towards you.

      Never roll a patient toward you! Their body weight is too far away for you to control (most body weight is along our backside when we are on our side) and if they roll backward (the most common way of rolling), you have no way of controlling their movement and preventing a fall! This is very poor body mechanics. One other thing...the patient should never be eye level with your crotch. Rolling a patient toward you puts their face in an uncomfortable position and should be avoided. Always roll a patient away from you! Please view our newest skills videos for updated skills performance! Thank you and good luck!
