Yep, you sure did! Great critical thinking! We want to limit the possibility of bacterial contamination of the urinary drainage bag that may eventually cause a urinary tract infection (UTI). This is a common complication with catheters and the bacteria will multiply on the journey to the bladder so by the time they arrive in the bladder, the bacterial infection is overwhelming for the patient and can be very difficult to control. These infections can even cause death in rare cases. Good luck!

Blood pressure is no longer a tested skill in Florida. You should learn the proper way to obtain a blood pressure, however, because it is an important component of being a CNA. CNAs are required to manually check the blood pressure if an automated BP device registers an abnormal BP, so knowing the proper way to take a manual BP is very important! Good luck on your exam and in your new career!

That is fine, you may do so. These containers have been disinfected and you are washing your hands before and after, so it is not a testing standard to have gloves on. Remember that these videos show MINIMUM testing standards and may not reflect all the steps of clinical practice. Just be careful what you touch with gloves on because you may inadvertently transfer contamination to other surfaces. Good luck!
This skill may be done with a manikin in the bed or a real person. It does not matter which one is used for this skill, as there is very little involvement with the "patient" other than during the opening or closing. Hope this helps. Good luck on the test!

The CNA pulled the urine container out of the drawer without gloves on. Shouldn't you have the gloves on first even though the container was rinsed out? I always wore gloves before touching anything that had come in contact after washing. This is what my instructor taught me 13 years ago.

Thanks for your comment. Kneeling on the floor does not affect your performance for the exam. Many people would have difficulty balancing while squatting for that amount of time, which may cause them to spill the urine. Your uniform is considered unclean after beginning work, because it touches unclean surfaces like the privacy curtain, bed, sink, etc. The floor is just one more unclean surface that you touch. Thanks and good luck!

You will physically wash your hands before and after every skill until the evaluator tells you that you can simulate handwashing. You are being graded on handwashing at the beginning of the first skill and must continue to wash your hands until told otherwise. Some states do not allow simulation at all and candidates must wash their hands before and after each skill because you cannot simulate in real life and if you don't wash hands during the test, then you probably won't in real life either!

The drainage port should not contact the inside of the container to avoid bacterial contamination that could eventually ascend into the bladder.

You should be talking to the PATIENT, explaining step-by-step what you are doing to gain their cooperation and lessen their fear and anxiety. Think of what you would expect if you were the patient lying in bed, alone and scared, not knowing what was wrong with you or what the helathcare worker was doing to you. By doing so, you will satisfy the requirements of the test and make the evaluator aware of all steps you are completing. But the focus is on the PATIENT, not the evaluator. Thanks!

You will wash your hands after performing your closing, then document. This keeps your hands clean when handling the pen to prevent cross-contamination. Once you document, you do not have to wash your hands again (this is NOT a testing point). You may, if you wish, but it is not required and certainly not preferred practice for a healthcare setting. Handwashing is done after the opening (before gathering materials) and after the closing. This is appropriate for the test. Good luck!

Ewww, do NOT kneel on a filthy disgusting floor! And later your knees touch a patient's bed? Don't pass that disgust everywhere you go! Either squat down or put ANY barrier(folded sheet, towel, chuck, etc.) between the floor and you. I know 4yourCNA defends this by saying your uniform is considered contaminated when you start your shift, BUT there are different levels of contamination and the floor is worse than most. For instance, you might put a patients pillows on a chair in the room, but you wouldn't put them on the floor! Never put anything on the floor that you can't sterilize or throw out(or incinerate!)!

Hello from New York State. I just wanted to stop by and thank you for your instructional videos. I have taken the Nurse-aide Licensure exam about 4 years ago and I completed 3 skills for them the way you completed them. Superb instructional videos. I believe the way you perform these skills is excellent and you are excellent at key infection control. Thank you so much for all your help. When I Perform Patient care I do exactly as you do! I was even promoted because the nursing supervisors said I am truly excellent at my job. I have one question since your are extremely intelligent at this.. How many times should a Urinary catheter drainage bag be emptied per shift? I always empty the bag when it hits half way . I just want to make sure this is correct. Thank you for all...

+Jessica Zimmer Thank you for such a glowing recommendation and we are so very happy that you found our videos helpful, not only in preparing you for the exam, but in assisting you in your daily work! Congratulations on your promotion! Regarding the catheter drainage bag: you will follow the instructions in the care plan (if specified). If there are no instructions, general nursing principles dictate that the drainage bag should be emptied once per shift (usually at the end of the shift) AND as needed prior to the end of the shift if the bag is approximately 3/4 of the way full (this would be for patients on diuretics). If you empty the bag during the shift due to excessive urine production, you must document the amount on the I&O form and still empty the bag again at the end of the shift (so the new shift always starts with a clean slate) and document that amount as well. Emptying at the 1/2 mark is fine, but remember to empty at the end of shift too! I hope this helps and wish you well in your career!!! :-)

@4yourcna
7 жыл бұрын
Please refer to the new videos for updated skills performance. You want to be very careful not to introduce bacteria into the drainage system, where it could multiply and progress upward toward the bladder. Since the pathogens are enveloped inside the catheter tubing, they bypass all defense mechanisms and emerge from the catheter directly into the bladder. It is an overwhelming invasion with trillions of bacteria invading all at once - that can be dangerous to the patient. Keeping the port from touching ANYTHING will reduce the amount of bacteria that are introduced into the catheter bag and reduce the likelihood of a UTI. Our skills book (available for purchase on 4yourcna.com/product/cna-skills-made-easy-book/) provides step by step instructions as well as theory for each skill (it answers questions like these for all of the skills and gives you the knowledge you need to pass the written and skills exams.

Why would you need to alcohol swab the drain on the reservoir? It's not in direct contact w/the client (i.e. swabbing saline locked IV sites), and you don't get cultures or perform a urinalysis on urine in the foley since it's not sterile. Unless perhaps the bacteria could migrate into the reservoir, up the tubing, & into the body (I think I just answered my own question).

For those of you questioning the floor, there is nothing on the checklist that states that you cannot touch the floor with your scrubs! In the real world there are many times you will have to get the the floor in order to do the things that you need to do. What matters is that she hit every checkpoint for the state exam! This was absolutely done correctly. And your gloves are allowed to become contaminated. That's the purpose of wearing them! Faucets are ALWAYS dirty and so are our hand until we wash them! So that is why us instructor also teach to turn the faucets off using a paper towel! I tell all of my students to watch these video to reinforce what I teach them in class and never have my students failed due to a technique taught in any of these videos. In fact, 4yourcna is the ONLY videos that I will approve them to watch. Great job Patty!

There is nothing on the list that says no touching the floor with scrubs on. At this point, your scrubs are contaminated just from entering the room. Touching the faucet with your gloves is acceptable. We just can't contaminate clean hands by not using a paper towel to turn it off. When you wash your hands your dirty hands are turning on a dirty sink. I agree wholeheartedly.
