I’ve never used that kind of scale and now that I’m practicing medicine, I’m having to use it. I really, appreciate this video because it gave me a clear idea, on understanding HOW to READ and USE the SCALE.
Thank you so much for your videos they helped me a lot, I was a refresher student few months ago, yesterday I took my exams I pass both. I really appreciate you keep on posting more videos, God bless you 🙏🙏🙏 I’m from North Carolina
Hi Ms. Julie thank so much for your videos it really helped me a lot this is one of my skills I passed my both skills and written on Sep 13, 2020 From California
I have my state CNA exam tomorrow and I am having a hard time removing my gown without contaminating my skin..ugh!!I been watching your vids so hopefully if I do get it I pass..I hope I have a evaluator that's not super strict...
Many thanks for your kindness. I have a medical question. Please: How many times do I measure my weight in a month, for example, or a week? If you would be so kind, I am 26 years old, my height is 160, and my weight has not been measured for a while, but I think it is 65 kilograms. Is this appropriate?
Question , Do we wear gloves in this procedure ? I took my skills a few days ago and they said I don’t use gloves but my teacher said we do ? 😫 I have to retake my skills again but not sure which one I failed .
Hi Angelica! No, gloves are not required for this skill. Your Score Report should list what skill or skills caused you to fail and which steps you performed incorrectly or omitted.
Ha! Ruth, thank you for your comment. As long as the candidate's reading comes within +/- 2 lbs of the evaluator's reading, they will receive credit for this step. But, again, thank you for your response.
For the exam if we had to complete skill 3 (ambulate using transfer belt) and skill 14 (measure&record weight of ambulatory patient), do you recommend ambulating the patient to the scale and then after bring them back to the bed? If so, would the weight of the transfer belt affect the weight of the patient on the scale?
Hi, Clarissa! No, I would not recommend that. Each skill is a separate skill. You can not combine skills. You must perform each skill individually and in the exact order as listed on your skill set.
I look at this video but it not clear with the top measurement with that said a little more on adding the top and bottom and what the small lines counted as
Am having my state exam in two days, is the resident supposed to remove their shoes before getting onto the scale? If so when they get off do I help them put their shoes back on
Hey Miss Julie. I’m kind of confused on this skill, but why did you move the larger scale to 150 instead of 200 because 200 is larger than 150 and why did you move the smaller scale on 4 instead of five or a larger number than that. Please help. Thank you 🙏 from Texas
Thanks for the message back. I’m in Georgia and I’m preparing for the Pearson Vue evaluation. My teacher insist that the feet cannot touch the floor. She states that when we put the patient in a sitting position, we must have them dangle there feet until we place their shoes on. She further stated that each state have different rules and regulations for the Pearson Vue evaluation. This is confusing because I have not seen nowhere that it states the feet must dangle but she insist that if we don’t make the resident feet dangle then we will fell the skill. Is this accurate?
Hi, Victoria! It's a floor scale. To zero out this type of scale before you have the person to stand on it, all you need to do is turn the dial to "0".
@@victoriapedraza6860 Hi! It really depends on the type of scale. The larger, more bolded tic Mark's are usually in increments of "1". I'll try to do a live stream tomorrow morning with an explanation on how to measure the person's weight.

In California her weight will be 154 1/4 lb, because it is on the 1/4 line pass the 4
Or 154.25 lb
Exactly 154.25 lb

Ms Julie when we do this in class, our instructor told us to use gait belt for fall prevention
The use of gait belt for this skill is not a required step if your state testing falls under Pearson Vue.
It is Pearson vue
@@fallennelly1610 for testing, no gait belt is required.
U are the best thank you
these are very helpful! Thank you! :)

Hi Angelica! No, gloves are not required for this skill.
Your Score Report should list what skill or skills caused you to fail and which steps you performed incorrectly or omitted.
The lines in between the 1 and 2 for instance, do you use fractions or decimals? I’m not sure. From Wisconsin.
So automatically move it to 150 ? Like how did you know to stop at 150
Photographer was very weak, I couldn’t see the number of the person weight
She’s wrong , is 154.1/4 lbs
Ha! Ruth, thank you for your comment. As long as the candidate's reading comes within +/- 2 lbs of the evaluator's reading, they will receive credit for this step. But, again, thank you for your response.

How to read the top scale?
What’s the number is the grove before 150 ?
I look at this video but it not clear with the top measurement with that said a little more on adding the top and bottom and what the small lines counted as
Hi, Judith! I believe I explain the tic marks on the gauge towards the beginning of the video.
Hello Ms. Julie,
Do you teach CNA 2 skills ?
Hi, if they were to have you weight a patient on a non-digital bathroom scale, would you twist the back of it to set it to zero?
Hi, Gabbie! Good question! Yes! You would turn the dial to zero (0).
Am having my state exam in two days, is the resident supposed to remove their shoes before getting onto the scale? If so when they get off do I help them put their shoes back on
Hi, Lucy! No. You will not remove the resident's shoes.
Will the exam be with a “standard scale” like the one shown in the video or a digital scale bc in class she has a “digital scale”? SMH @nursejar
Hi Blake! Digital or electric scales are prohibited. The scale must be a calibrated bathroom scale or a standig scale, as shown in my video.
@@NURSEJAR thank you!

Hi, Abigail. You have to adjust the scale according to the person's actual weight.
NURSE JAR okay thank you but how do you know that it the person weight ?
@@mommyandjustin8368 well, the person will be standing on the scale as you are measuring their weight.
NURSE JAR thank you 🙏
How do u know to do 150 or 200 I don’t want the person thinking I’m being rude if I use the wrong one 😬
Hi, Morgan!
You have to use your own judgment on which poundage to start out with with the larger weight.
Good morning Nurse Jar,
Basically if I put 150 as the weight. The evaluate will most likely have 148 or 152? If we both have the same number, I fail?
Hi, Lawndale! Your recording must be within +/- 2lbs from the Evaluator's recording.
@@NURSEJAR Hello,
I pass my written and skills exam this week for my state GNA on first try. Thank you soooooo much for your wonderful videos 😊
Hi, Lawanda! YAY!!! CONGRATULATIONS 👏 🎊 💐 🥳!!! So happy for you!
Thank you soooooo much!
Is this part of the CNA
Hi, Heidi! Not understanding what you mean! What are you trying to ask?
@@NURSEJAR sorry about that I meant to say if this is part of the job for a CNA
Hi, Heidi! Yes. But, my videos demonstrate how to perform testable skills for certification testing requirements.
@@NURSEJAR ok thank you 😊
Hey Ms Julie , quick question my testing will be in CA do you have to write LBS next to the number? Or just 154 by itself?!
You need to put 154lbs
Test is tmrw 😭
Hi, Luna! Good luck on your exam! Let me know how you do. What state will you be testing in?
I thought the feet suppose to never touch the floor without socks.
Hi, Cai! The candidate acting as the resident will already have their socks on.

Pls put the lbs at the end i.e 154lbs if in Georgia usa otherwise you'll be a cooked goose already😊

You're welcome.
Hi, can the big weight be turned to 200 as well on the cna exam
Hi, Deborah! Yes. If the person is heavier, you must adjust the weights accordingly.
Do you usually only have 1 measurement skill to complete?
Hi, 73Jesusfreak! Yes, you will have one measurement skill.
RA no.
What the long line between 59 & 60? Please help
Can u read the line between 59 and 60 plz. I dont know it
