The checklist used by Prometric (located on their website) that the evaluators use to grade FL CNA applicants does not list checking the ID band prior to feeding, so it is not graded during the test. It is, however, a good practice to do so BEFORE you give the resident their tray to prevent food allergies or specific health conditions related to diet. You may check the ID if you like, but it is not required for the test. Good luck and thanks for the question!

Yes, you must wash your hands before and after every skill, just like in real life. This is a VERY important aspect of patient care, to prevent the spread of pathogens from one patient to another. At the end of the skill, after you have fed the patient and encouraged them to eat at least 2 ways (are you sure you are done? one more bite? can I get you something else? let me know if you are hungry later. - pick 2), throw the disposable items away and leave the empty food tray where you found it.

Congratulations! We are so proud of you! We wish you the best of luck in your new career!

Yes, you may set the documentation sheet on the table - that will help you remember to document at the end of the skill. Good luck!
-
Yes, you offer a sip of water before feeding and every 3 to 4 bites while feeding. Ask the patient what they would want next when feeding multiple types of food (a meal). We are only there to be the pateint's arms...let them call the shots! Good luck on the exam!

You are in the room - why do they need the call button? If they need anything, you are right there (the whole purpose of the call light). You can remain in the room without giving them the call light first. At the end of this skill, I pointed out the call light (lying on the bed next to him) which is appropriate when leaving. The patient doesn't have to be HOLDING the call light! They just have to know where it is and how to call for help, should they need it.

I am sorry for the delay. Yes, the skills are performed according to nursing best practices, which are universal. Many people from California have used these skills demonstrations to prepare for the exam and have passed. Good luck!

Hi Ms Patty.... I passed my exam today. Both my written and skills test! Thank you so much for all videos you posted it helps a lot for me to passed my exam.

It is actually hard to be a "patient" for this skill. Eating is the first task you become independent at (holding a bottle, eating cheerios from a high chair) and losing this independence really affects you on a deep psychological level. It is essential to be upbeat and encourage the patient to eat despite this reaction. Sometimes being silly with them (respectfully) can help them overcome their reservations. But not for the test. Be professional for the test. :) Good luck!

these videos saved me, i learned these A TOTALLY different way in my PCT and MA classes, this is much easier to do and remember. thanks for posting them

Just remember the three principles of safety, patient's rights and infection control. Be careful watching videos, they are not all performed according to current Florida state standards and they may confuse you. I would speak to my nursing instructor and ask for tutoring or specific instructions that must be followed. Good luck!

I'm testing tomorrow. Wish me luck Florida.
