I just passed my New York State Board a week ago and many thanks to Patty, I watched all her skills and I got so confident as if I had 5 years experience. I recommended her channel to my colleagues and hope this will help everyone out there. I greatly appreciate your time to make these videos and sharing them 😊
I have severe problems with my attention in my actual CNA class, but you teach it well enough that I grasp it first time. My teacher had a complaint about my inability to master the skills, but those are going away after watching your videos! Thank you!

I can’t pass without saying thank you Mrs Patricia, after 3 times i pass my CNA skill, thanks to God first and second thanks Mrs Patricia for your videos I watched them day and night finally I take my skills May 8, 2023 and pass it, my skills were, mouth care with denture, respiration and transfer from bed to wheelchair, I’m so excited now I’m thinking with my LPN. Thanks you so much 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Hey Ms.Patti ! I'm just commenting to let you know that thanks to you and your videos, as of yesterday, 8-15-20, I'm a FL CNA! I can't thank you enough, I was stressing so much and after watching your videos for 2 weeks, they really helped me retain a lot of information I lost. The privacy blanket was never taught to me and I actually think it's one of the best tips I could have taken away from watching you. Someone who was at the testing site with me actually said she watched your videos as well and also passed! If I ever come across someone who is wanting to become a CNA I will definitely recommend your classes & online videos. :)

Thank you for posting these videos these are very helpful to someone like me who's in his late 20s I kick myself in the but for not taking the nursing program at tri-county here in Maine and I kick myself in the but for not taking the nursing program at job Corps I've recently as of my last hospital stay I've decided to go back to school and become a CNA and then an RN I was thinking about becoming a CMA and starting out as a phlebotomist. I enjoyed watching the nurses do what they did to me and helping me out while I was in the hospital out of all my hospital stays this is the first one that made me want to go back to school I know I'm 28 but I wasn't aware of what I wanted to do back then.
I m doing my cna exam in ny state next month I failed in 2021 I really love your videos I hope I will pass this time To my remark the denture step is more complicated that made many nurse assistants failed
Hi ms patty, thank u so very much, your videos was a great deal it helped me alot. Am happy to tell you that l passed my CNA exam. I first did it on Nov unfortunately l passed the written and failed the skills and immediately l submitted another application to retake the skill that l failed, I did on Monday 12/11/17 and just saw my result now l did it l passed!! Your videos really helped me thank you thank you. Am happy
I am taking my exam tomorrow in florida!! i'm watching these videos as a refresher ,and they are helping a lot... will let you know my results tomorrow! i am confident i will pass
Hey ms Ramsey I'm back from taking my New York State CNA exam....I just want to give u an update on how it went...well I failed my written portion of the test however i passed the skills part...so I'll only have to retake the skills...my 3 skills including hand wash and indirect care was 1.transfer resident from bed to wheel chair 2. measure and record restorations and finally 3. Provide oral care to resident with denture..I wanted to express my gratitude and thanks because if it weren't for your friendly easy to follow video demonstrations and prompt email replies ,I would of probably fail the skills portion of the exam....I have collected all of your demonstration skills and stored them in a separate playlist on my UA-cam account so I can easily bring them up...now I'm on mission to ace the written part soon and I want to be prepared this time...please provide any links or recommendations as to where i can get tips or facts on taking the written exam....again thank you and your videos had made a world of difference..and for anyone who is viewing this video this is proof that these series of demonstration really do work and help...best of luck to all taking their exam...
Congratulations on passing the clinical skills part of your exam. I would recommend reading a CNA textbook to review scope of practice and theoretical principles related to CNA practice. You can order a textbook and skills book on our website 4YourCNA.com/store. We also have practice questions on our website 4yourcna.com/online-workbook/ that are divided into chapters for easy review. Best of luck!
Thanking you from NYC I passed my test I had this skill among others, I took my classes about 8 months ago and took my test January of this year. What has gotten me by was studying and watch these videos constantly. So thank you for all of these helpful video's.
hello !! I am preparing for my CNA test , please can you tell me if you have to do the handwashing for every skill?? how many skills are required or asked to perform, thanks
Yes. You need to signal the hand washing each time. If it is your skill test(hand washing) then you need to perform the actual skill all the way. Good luck to you.
I just completed a course in Cna class, now preparing myself for the state exam which I want to sooner than later, how long should I actually wait before taking the exam, also I think these skills are great!! Explained & demonstrated so well!!
Hi Mrs Patty,I passed the skills exam by watching your videos I want to thank you but the state required to change the water before wetting the foam sponge.it was pointed out by one of the evaluators but I did everything else well.Tx
Hey pat, just want to let you know that your videos are big help to me, I passed my CNA exam☺ thank you so much, please keep up your good work God bless you 🙏
I wish they had these videos for the NY CNA skills ☹️️☹️️. Practicing in class is cool but I would love to watch videos with the NY state rules because they're slightly different
New York uses the same clinical skills checklist for testing that Florida does, so these videos will demonstrate the specific scenarios you will encounter in testing. The clinical skills checklist can be found on the testing agency's website: www.prometric.com/en-us/clients/nurseaide/documents/NAClinicalSkillsChecklist.pdf These skills are demonstrated according to the checklist and based on the specific patient scenarios used in testing. Hope this helps!
+4yourCNA that's interesting because the school where I'm taking the class teaches some of these skills differently. Maybe because our room is set up differently idk. But for instance we wash hands after removing gloves, brush the debtures in a specific way, whenever we turn on the faucet we use a barrier & use three different toothettes for this skill
The differences that you are describing will be your instructor's method of teaching - they are not right or wrong, just different. Our videos focus on demonstrating the skills according to testing standards, your specific instruction may differ. The state exam does not require handwashing immediately after removing gloves but DOES require handwashing at the end of the skill. The state exam does not require a specific method of brushing dentures. You can use a barrier to turn the faucet on if you wish, but dirty hands can touch a dirty faucet. Clean hands require a barrier. Using a barrier all the time just keeps you from thinking about whether your hands are clean or dirty. There is no reason to use 3 toothettes for any skill. Use a denture brush or toothbrush to brush the dentures and a toothette to clean the mouth. This is according to the Clinical Skills Checklist I mentioned in the earlier comment. When in doubt, review the checklist for testing checkpoints. Hope this helps!
I figured out in my In home care aid class-Here in my state (WA state) the basic idea of the skill is the same. How/when you do each step is a little different, and some instructors will teach students do a variation of it. the differences, in many cases are still allowed on the test. So I've been told
Hey Pat, do you have a video on how to perform shaving care for a resident? l looked on all your videos but l don't see the one for shaving, l can see it from other videos which are boring and l can't even get what they are doing, please post one if you have it or advise me on which video is best to watch, l will greatly appreciate, your videos are the best overall and l have learned so much from your videos, thanks a lot and continue teaching us the skills, you are my teacher and l know l will make it when l take the State Test, l will pass because of you and the clear demonstrations, keep up the good work Pat!
Thank you for your comment! We are happy that you are finding our videos helpful. No, I'm sorry, we do not have a video on shaving. We focus on skills that must be demonstrated for the skills portion of CNA testing and shaving is not a testable skill. I am not familiar with other videos, so I am unable to provide you with advice on where to find a suitable video for that skill. Thank you and best of luck to you!
I'm a home care aid in WA state (also a cna) and watched your videos to help pass the state CNA and HCA exam. I'd love to see one on shaving-thought not a "testable" skill here in WA state, we're still taught it because some clients ask/need help shaving.
Thanks you Mrs. Patty for the videos my exam is this coming Friday if it wasn’t for your helpful videos I would be screwed. The instructor here in Fort Lauderdale Florida did not let us practice on our own she rushed threw the skill so I’m practicing on my own
This video is so helpful appreciate every step by step explanation and procedure it made my skill exams so easy I passed with ease and my examiner was good thank you ma'am
@@bushrahamdan8774 dentures are really slippery and very delicate. The teeth can potentially chip or break if you drop it in the sink. Dentures cost money too, breaking a residents dentures means A LOT. They won’t be able to eat or be comfortable in the meantime of waiting for their new dentures to come in.
We wish you the best of luck on your exam! Let us know how you do - we will send good vibes your way and would LOVE to congratulate you when you pass. Like and subscribe to our channel on UA-cam to be notified when we go live! You might also find our Practice Test Game Show on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of every month at 11 a.m. (ET) helpful, too!
Question: if you performed dental care on patient first instead of denture care first, would you need an extra pair of gloves? Does the order of how this task is performed matter?
For this skill, it does not matter which order you do it in: you can clean the dentures first or the mouth. However, if you do the mouth care portion first, you will have to clean the basin twice (once after they spit in it and again after cleaning the dentures before storing it). By cleaning the dentures first, you don't have to clean the basin between dentures and mouth care, so it saves you a step. But either way is acceptable. You must have 2 pairs of gloves for this skill, regardless of how you do it: you need one pair for dentures and the other pair for the mouth. Hope this helps!
You will need a cup of water for this skill. There is generally a water pitcher on the bedside table for this purpose. If you must get water from the tap, please use a paper towel to turn the faucet on, since your hands are clean but the faucet is dirty. Thank you!
Question After you done with the denture, what is the first step bring the denture and place on the Nightstand and than take care of the washing cloth? Or first take care of the washing cloth and than grab the denture with bassin?
When/how is the cup of water filled? i assume just use the water jug on the night stand with my bare hands to pour into the cup (b4 wearing any gloves step)
According to Prometric Clinical Skills for Denture care Checkpoint #12, "Provide mouth care cleaning upper and lower gums, using moistened foam-tipped applicator or toothbrush with toothpaste" so either would be acceptable for the exam. Thank you for your comment!
You can take the denture cup to the sink before or after you wash your hands. It is only a cup, you are not touching the dentures, so it's not a graded checkpoint. You must have gloves on to touch dentures. Hope this helps!
Are you supposed to use a paper towel on the sink to place the dentures and the basin on it? Also when you first opened the drawer to get the supplies out, did you not need a paper towel to open it?
Yes, this is the easiest way, but not a required checkpoint. If you want to turn the faucet off during cleaning, you must do so with a paper towel, and use a paper towel to turn it back on for rinsing. Leaving it running is the easiest option, though. Good luck!
What if it is top and bottom denture, would you rinse the toothbrush and apply more toothpaste or would you use the same toothpaste you used on the previous denture?
For the exam, you will only have a single denture plate to clean. In a clinical setting, if the patient has both upper and lower dentures, you can clean them both with the same toothbrush and store them in clean water in the same denture cup (think of brushing your teeth in your mouth - you don't use separate toothbrushes or toothpaste - this is the same principle). Hope this helps!
thank you so much Ms. Patty, when do they teach us how to use a hoyer lift.... i work in a nursing facility and they use hoyer, do you know if that will be on the exam?
Theory related to hoyer lifts can be on the exam (requires 2 caregivers - one to work the machine, one to watch the patient) but the actual use of a hoyer is not a clinical skill for the exam. Your facility must provide specific training for the exact model of lift used in the facility during your orientation period. Hope this helps!
Hello again i visited your website and signed up,are the practice questions based on the prometric standards ?...i paid to retake my written exam,i already passed the skills part.so im just waiting for them to schedule me to retake the written exam.i wana be ready to put the final nail in the coffin and seal away this exam for forever lol lol.
In California American Red Cross study guide it says to clean dental cup first, fill with water, so you won't be left holding the dentures like Patty, which can cause the dentures to accidentally fall out of your hand.
No, it is not a graded checkpoint to perform hand hygiene before applying the second pair of gloves because it is care performed on the same patient. Hope this helps! Best of luck!
Can someone please explain to me why does Patty uses paper towel to hold the basin while cleaning when she was holding it bare before? I noticed that's she does it in other videos when using a basin.
Nurse Patty, in this video the cup of water was previously prepped. During testing at what point would be beneficial for me to add water if not already prepped?
Most testing centers will have a pitcher of water on the bedside table. You can pour the water when you are gathering the supplies (the pitcher and cup are considered clean). If you do not have a pitcher of water, you can get water from the tap using a paper towel to turn the water on and off when you gather supplies. Hope this helps! You might find our online program helpful as well, as it covers more of these details than UA-cam. It's free and you can find it on courses.4YourCNA.com. Good luck!
Just to let you know you didn't pinch your glove at the palm so you just contaminated your arm. And the the call light wasn't in reach. it was on the bed.
can you put the gloves on before you take the denture brush/basin to sink??? and also, should you wash hands after taking the first set of gloves off? I thought you were suppose to wash hands EVERY time you take gloves off? Thank you in advance.
You must wash your hands at the beginning and end of every skill. You are not required to wash your hands the very second the gloves come off, but you are required to wash your hands after providing care. This handwashing can occur a few moments after glove removal, after you complete care. You can put your gloves on before going to the sink, but make sure you don't contaminate your gloves and then handle the dentures. Remember, these dentures are going into someone's mouth! Hope this helps!
No, your gloves are dirty and so is the faucet, so no paper towel is required at this time. However, after you wash your hands, when your hands are clean, you must use a paper towel to turn the faucet on. And a paper towel is required to get water if your hands have already been washed We have an entire presentation on this in our online CNA Test Prep! It's free (for just a few more weeks) and has interactive activities, quizzes and more. It goes way beyond the skills videos we offer on UA-cam. Check it out on courses.4YourCNA.com!
For the exam, the person playing the role of "patient" will not have dentures. You will brush their natural teeth to demonstrate the technique you would use on a real patient that needs this skill performed. This is why it is demonstrated in this manner on the video - it is a demonstration of the skill in the testing setting, performed as it will appear in the exam. However, please remember that just because a patient has dentures, that doesn't mean that they have no teeth. Dentures come in 3 varieties: full plates (that replace all teeth on either the top or bottom jaw), partial dentures (that replace some teeth but have openings to fit around the patient's remaining natural teeth) and bridges (small portions of dentures that replace only a few teeth). In many cases, although the patient has dentures, they will also retain some natural teeth as well. You must brush the patient's remaining teeth in that case. Even if they have no natural teeth, the gums must be brushed to remove denture adhesive and food particles from the gums at least once a day. Failure to do so can result in gum disease, sores and may lead to oral lesions that penetrate the sinus cavities. Thank you for your comment and best of luck!
you always brush the gums of the resident that wears dentures. just as you would a resident that has teeth only use swabs. this helps to prevent bacteria from growing in the mouth under the dentures.
I have a problem with contamination when you dip the denture brush in the cup to get it wet. For the exam, a candidate will play the part of the resident and will not be the owner of the brush or dentures. You later ask them to rinse with that water. That can not be safe for the candidate. It would be fine in the real world, but for the exam it seems questionable.
Very good observation! For the exam, you are correct that the role of patient will be played by a testing candidate. However, these dentures are "props" for testing purposes. No one will ever put those dentures into a mouth for any reason - those dentures are purely there for demonstration purposes and are not actively used by any individual. Furthermore, that denture brush has never been used on any "real" dentures, i.e., dentures that were used by a real person. Therefore, neither the dentures or the denture brush are a source of contamination for the exam. However, if you wish to obtain 2 cups of water, one for the patient and one for the supplies, you can certainly do so. For the sake of simplicity (and since it is very difficult to address all variables in an instructional video format), we are demonstrating the simplest method that meets all testing criteria. You are free to modify to fit your needs. Great comment! Thanks!
Thanks for your prompt response. I had my clinical skills test today and I am happy to say that your videos helped me to pass with flying colors. Thank you for posting these valuable aids for prospective CNA's. I did not have this skill as one of mine, but analyzing your process sure helped me perform the skills I did draw. Thanks again.
My friend took an in-person CNA prep course about 3 months ago, and she was told that you shouldn't let the basin touch the inside of the sink during the exam. It's set down here and in the rest of the videos that require basin washing. Should we not be setting the basin down?
This is not a graded checkpoint on the exam, and an important principle in infection control is that the outside surface is not considered clean. When disinfecting (not done for the test but may be required in a clinical setting), you cannot hold the basin with your dirty hand while disinfecting, which is why we set it down, spray it (if required), then use a paper towel as a barrier between your soiled hand/glove and the basin. Hope this helps! :-)
Hey I signed up on your website in hopes to take the practice exam but your website says a link was emailed to me with the email address I provided...the funny thing is I never got the link to confirm my registration with your website...I signed up on Saturday...please help as I'm anxious to practice because I don't know when prometric will schedule me for the written exam so I don't wana waste time...everyday counts for me...thank you keep up the fine work.

You should use cool running water to clean dentures. However, verbalizing it is not a graded checkpoint for the exam. You can view all graded checkpoints on Prometric's website under the "clinical skills checklist" Best of luck!
You must perform all actions for credit, unless told otherwise. For instance, you cannot say, "I would have performed mouth care", you would have to actually DO mouth care. But you can say, "Correction, I would have used a paper towel to turn the faucet on," to prevent getting a deficiency in infection control. Please see our video on corrections for more information ua-cam.com/video/hs3NQLsliX0/v-deo.html&lc=Ugx6JWxZ8JX9sJ7ALrB4AaABAg Best of luck on the exam! :-) Don't forget to like and subscribe!
Hi, I noticed that you turned the faucet on with a paper towel (once dentures are at sink), however you did not turn off faucet with paper towel, is this step correct. Thanks
After washing the dentures, the gloves are considered dirty and dirty gloves can touch a dirty faucet. So, a paper towel is not required at this step. However, you can always use a paper towel if you are unsure. Best of luck!
You MUST use a paper towel to turn on the sink before you start (to keep your hands/gloves clean) but you are allowed to touch the faucet with dirty gloves after cleaning to turn faucet off because the faucet is dirty and so are your gloves. When in doubt, use a paper towel (but it is not REQUIRED when you are touching the faucet with dirty hands). This does not vary by state - it is a nursing principle. Thanks and best of luck!

Congratulations! We love to hear success stories! We wish you the very best of luck in your new career! :-)
You're saying they let you retake the same exact skills you failed? I'm retaking mine.
@@4yourcna is that what he means? Did they let him retake the skills he failed?
@Mamatee how did you you pass your written test?
Your video is awesome 💯,CNA is such a difficult test but I'm never losing hope.
I’ve always believed CNA is not all about studying, you need God’s grace to pass .
Don’t give up you got this..why wait later you can get this skill now I’m cheering for you
I am taking my exam tomorrow in florida!! i'm watching these videos as a refresher ,and they are helping a lot... will let you know my results tomorrow! i am confident i will pass
We hope you were successful in passing the exam! Let us know how you did! :-)
Hey ms Ramsey I'm back from taking my New York State CNA exam....I just want to give u an update on how it went...well I failed my written portion of the test however i passed the skills part...so I'll only have to retake the skills...my 3 skills including hand wash and indirect care was 1.transfer resident from bed to wheel chair 2. measure and record restorations and finally 3. Provide oral care to resident with denture..I wanted to express my gratitude and thanks because if it weren't for your friendly easy to follow video demonstrations and prompt email replies ,I would of probably fail the skills portion of the exam....I have collected all of your demonstration skills and stored them in a separate playlist on my UA-cam account so I can easily bring them up...now I'm on mission to ace the written part soon and I want to be prepared this time...please provide any links or recommendations as to where i can get tips or facts on taking the written exam....again thank you and your videos had made a world of difference..and for anyone who is viewing this video this is proof that these series of demonstration really do work and help...best of luck to all taking their exam...
Congratulations on passing the clinical skills part of your exam. I would recommend reading a CNA textbook to review scope of practice and theoretical principles related to CNA practice. You can order a textbook and skills book on our website 4YourCNA.com/store. We also have practice questions on our website 4yourcna.com/online-workbook/ that are divided into chapters for easy review. Best of luck!
Thanking you from NYC I passed my test I had this skill among others, I took my classes about 8 months ago and took my test January of this year. What has gotten me by was studying and watch these videos constantly. So thank you for all of these helpful video's.
Congratulations! That is awesome - great job! We are happy that you found our videos helpful and wish you the best of luck in your new career!
4yourCNA Thank you sooooo much!!!!
what skills did you have to do?
Thank you Mrs. Ramsey. I passed my Florida CNA Exam yesterday watching your videos! You are an excellent resource. Keep up the great work.
hello !! I am preparing for my CNA test , please can you tell me if you have to do the handwashing for every skill?? how many skills are required or asked to perform, thanks
Yes. You need to signal the hand washing each time. If it is your skill test(hand washing) then you need to perform the actual skill all the way. Good luck to you.
@@China4355 thanks for replying , and your wishing me good luck, 😊
Hi patty my test is tomorrow and your videos have really been helping me these past 3 months, so thank you !
We are thinking of you today as you test! We are so happy that you are finding our resources helpful! Best of luck and let us know how you did! :-)
I am challenging the borad super nervous. I go to sleep with your video on lol
I just completed a course in Cna class, now preparing myself for the state exam which I want to sooner than later, how long should I actually wait before taking the exam, also I think these skills are great!! Explained & demonstrated so well!!
Hi Mrs Patty,I passed the skills exam by watching your videos I want to thank you but the state required to change the water before wetting the foam sponge.it was pointed out by one of the evaluators but I did everything else well.Tx
Congratulations! We are very proud of you and wish you great success in your new career! :-) I will look into this!
I'm about to take my skills test and these videos have helped me so much thank!! I will update if I pass!!

Hey pat, just want to let you know that your videos are big help to me, I passed my CNA exam☺ thank you so much, please keep up your good work God bless you 🙏
I take my skills this morning up watching these videos before I go
I wish they had these videos for the NY CNA skills ☹️️☹️️. Practicing in class is cool but I would love to watch videos with the NY state rules because they're slightly different
New York uses the same clinical skills checklist for testing that Florida does, so these videos will demonstrate the specific scenarios you will encounter in testing. The clinical skills checklist can be found on the testing agency's website: www.prometric.com/en-us/clients/nurseaide/documents/NAClinicalSkillsChecklist.pdf These skills are demonstrated according to the checklist and based on the specific patient scenarios used in testing. Hope this helps!
+4yourCNA that's interesting because the school where I'm taking the class teaches some of these skills differently. Maybe because our room is set up differently idk. But for instance we wash hands after removing gloves, brush the debtures in a specific way, whenever we turn on the faucet we use a barrier & use three different toothettes for this skill
The differences that you are describing will be your instructor's method of teaching - they are not right or wrong, just different. Our videos focus on demonstrating the skills according to testing standards, your specific instruction may differ. The state exam does not require handwashing immediately after removing gloves but DOES require handwashing at the end of the skill. The state exam does not require a specific method of brushing dentures. You can use a barrier to turn the faucet on if you wish, but dirty hands can touch a dirty faucet. Clean hands require a barrier. Using a barrier all the time just keeps you from thinking about whether your hands are clean or dirty. There is no reason to use 3 toothettes for any skill. Use a denture brush or toothbrush to brush the dentures and a toothette to clean the mouth. This is according to the Clinical Skills Checklist I mentioned in the earlier comment. When in doubt, review the checklist for testing checkpoints. Hope this helps!
I figured out in my In home care aid class-Here in my state (WA state) the basic idea of the skill is the same. How/when you do each step is a little different, and some instructors will teach students do a variation of it. the differences, in many cases are still allowed on the test. So I've been told
For state of Michigan, clinicals state test do u throw away the denture brush or put back in the drawer? I take my exam Tuesday the 24 of July. Thanks
Hey Pat, do you have a video on how to perform shaving care for a resident? l looked on all your videos but l don't see the one for shaving, l can see it from other videos which are boring and l can't even get what they are doing, please post one if you have it or advise me on which video is best to watch, l will greatly appreciate, your videos are the best overall and l have learned so much from your videos, thanks a lot and continue teaching us the skills, you are my teacher and l know l will make it when l take the State Test, l will pass because of you and the clear demonstrations, keep up the good work Pat!
Thank you for your comment! We are happy that you are finding our videos helpful. No, I'm sorry, we do not have a video on shaving. We focus on skills that must be demonstrated for the skills portion of CNA testing and shaving is not a testable skill. I am not familiar with other videos, so I am unable to provide you with advice on where to find a suitable video for that skill. Thank you and best of luck to you!
okay thanks a lot, l will let you know when l take my state exam and will let you know if l pass,
I'm a home care aid in WA state (also a cna) and watched your videos to help pass the state CNA and HCA exam. I'd love to see one on shaving-thought not a "testable" skill here in WA state, we're still taught it because some clients ask/need help shaving.
I take my test this morning I’ve been watching these videos it helps
I've just started watching your videos today. I'll be starting my classes in August
Thank you so much Im studying hard for my exam and your videos are so helpful

Hi, I don’t know why you put the towel in the sink ? Please explain that . Thank you
@@bushrahamdan8774 so that the dentures won’t potentially fall down the drain
@@bushrahamdan8774 dentures are really slippery and very delicate. The teeth can potentially chip or break if you drop it in the sink. Dentures cost money too, breaking a residents dentures means A LOT. They won’t be able to eat or be comfortable in the meantime of waiting for their new dentures to come in.
I'm so thankful for having all the helpful videos. thank you

I’m taking mine on the 7 June im nervous
You got this
Did you pass?
Question: if you performed dental care on patient first instead of denture care first, would you need an extra pair of gloves? Does the order of how this task is performed matter?
For this skill, it does not matter which order you do it in: you can clean the dentures first or the mouth. However, if you do the mouth care portion first, you will have to clean the basin twice (once after they spit in it and again after cleaning the dentures before storing it). By cleaning the dentures first, you don't have to clean the basin between dentures and mouth care, so it saves you a step. But either way is acceptable. You must have 2 pairs of gloves for this skill, regardless of how you do it: you need one pair for dentures and the other pair for the mouth. Hope this helps!
I took my cna in KY passed everything except blood pressure. I’m so nervous retaking the performance exam
We wish you luck as you retest!
I take my exam tomorrow!
Thank u so much 4yourcna...I passed!!!!
She is awesome! Thank you for this excellent video ;)
+Angela MayA Thank you for such a nice comments! Best of luck to you in your new career! :-)
For exam One thing I forgot to ask is if I have to obtain the water from the faucet into a cup for patient rinsing and to wet tooth brush?
You will need a cup of water for this skill. There is generally a water pitcher on the bedside table for this purpose. If you must get water from the tap, please use a paper towel to turn the faucet on, since your hands are clean but the faucet is dirty. Thank you!
Hi Patty, after the dentures care, when I take my gloves up, most I, Washing my hand again, for the mouth care
No, washing your hands is not required, since it is the same patient. You are required to change gloves, but not wash between. Hope this helps!
Question
After you done with the denture, what is the first step bring the denture and place on the Nightstand and than take care of the washing cloth? Or first take care of the washing cloth and than grab the denture with bassin?
Sitting in waiting room waiting wish me luck 😊
When/how is the cup of water filled? i assume just use the water jug on the night stand with my bare hands to pour into the cup (b4 wearing any gloves step)
Do I have to apply toothpaste to the toothete or can I just moisten it and clean they're teeth?
According to Prometric Clinical Skills for Denture care Checkpoint #12, "Provide mouth care cleaning upper and lower gums,
using moistened foam-tipped applicator or toothbrush with toothpaste" so either would be acceptable for the exam. Thank you for your comment!
When did you fill the water cup?
Don't you need to wash your hands before you can pick up the denture cup at the very beginning?
You can take the denture cup to the sink before or after you wash your hands. It is only a cup, you are not touching the dentures, so it's not a graded checkpoint. You must have gloves on to touch dentures. Hope this helps!
Hello. I have my exam on Monday and I was wondering if you do denture care first or mouth care? Or does it not matter that much.
Are you supposed to use a paper towel on the sink to place the dentures and the basin on it? Also when you first opened the drawer to get the supplies out, did you not need a paper towel to open it?
6:04 imagine if the cup didn't fall into the can after it hit the rim #Take2
Do I have to leave water running while cleaning dentures, I'm in Florida.
Yes, this is the easiest way, but not a required checkpoint. If you want to turn the faucet off during cleaning, you must do so with a paper towel, and use a paper towel to turn it back on for rinsing. Leaving it running is the easiest option, though. Good luck!
I was just wondering, why we put the washcloth in the bottom of the sink?
In case the denture falls, the washcloth breaks that fall. Dentures are very expensive to replace. I learned about that in class today.
Should the student wash their hands once gloves are removed? Then continue on until gloves are applied again?
You do everything so professional
God bless you thank you so much for your help!!
Hi . When do you take the barrier from the denture cup?
What if it is top and bottom denture, would you rinse the toothbrush and apply more toothpaste or would you use the same toothpaste you used on the previous denture?
For the exam, you will only have a single denture plate to clean. In a clinical setting, if the patient has both upper and lower dentures, you can clean them both with the same toothbrush and store them in clean water in the same denture cup (think of brushing your teeth in your mouth - you don't use separate toothbrushes or toothpaste - this is the same principle). Hope this helps!
thank you so much Ms. Patty, when do they teach us how to use a hoyer lift.... i work in a nursing facility and they use hoyer, do you know if that will be on the exam?
Theory related to hoyer lifts can be on the exam (requires 2 caregivers - one to work the machine, one to watch the patient) but the actual use of a hoyer is not a clinical skill for the exam. Your facility must provide specific training for the exact model of lift used in the facility during your orientation period. Hope this helps!
Hello again i visited your website and signed up,are the practice questions based on the prometric standards ?...i paid to retake my written exam,i already passed the skills part.so im just waiting for them to schedule me to retake the written exam.i wana be ready to put the final nail in the coffin and seal away this exam for forever lol lol.
Yes, the practice test consists of questions that are similar in scope and content to the questions on the state exam. Good luck!
In California American Red Cross study guide it says to clean dental cup first, fill with water, so you won't be left holding the dentures like Patty, which can cause the dentures to accidentally fall out of your hand.
She would be holding the dentures either way even if she did rinse the cup out first
Would this be alright to study with for the Washington state cna testing?
should we wash our hands before applying the second pair of gloves??
No, it is not a graded checkpoint to perform hand hygiene before applying the second pair of gloves because it is care performed on the same patient. Hope this helps! Best of luck!
Do you just get tap water out of the sink for the rinse cup?
Can someone please explain to me why does Patty uses paper towel to hold the basin while cleaning when she was holding it bare before? I noticed that's she does it in other videos when using a basin.
Nurse Patty, in this video the cup of water was previously prepped. During testing at what point would be beneficial for me to add water if not already prepped?
Most testing centers will have a pitcher of water on the bedside table. You can pour the water when you are gathering the supplies (the pitcher and cup are considered clean). If you do not have a pitcher of water, you can get water from the tap using a paper towel to turn the water on and off when you gather supplies. Hope this helps! You might find our online program helpful as well, as it covers more of these details than UA-cam. It's free and you can find it on courses.4YourCNA.com. Good luck!
Just to let you know you didn't pinch your glove at the palm so you just contaminated your arm. And the the call light wasn't in reach. it was on the bed.
Now Iunderstand this skill better, trying to watch it is not easy at first ,but finally you'll get used to it .
We are happy you are finding our videos helpful! Best of luck!
Hello I was just wondering why you do not take your gloves off when you touch the sink.
can you put the gloves on before you take the denture brush/basin to sink??? and also, should you wash hands after taking the first set of gloves off? I thought you were suppose to wash hands EVERY time you take gloves off? Thank you in advance.
You must wash your hands at the beginning and end of every skill. You are not required to wash your hands the very second the gloves come off, but you are required to wash your hands after providing care. This handwashing can occur a few moments after glove removal, after you complete care. You can put your gloves on before going to the sink, but make sure you don't contaminate your gloves and then handle the dentures. Remember, these dentures are going into someone's mouth! Hope this helps!
Hello, for the test ,I have storage the dental brush or I can to dispose it
Question, should you have used a paper towel to turn the faucet on and off when you washed the basin?
No, your gloves are dirty and so is the faucet, so no paper towel is required at this time. However, after you wash your hands, when your hands are clean, you must use a paper towel to turn the faucet on. And a paper towel is required to get water if your hands have already been washed We have an entire presentation on this in our online CNA Test Prep! It's free (for just a few more weeks) and has interactive activities, quizzes and more. It goes way beyond the skills videos we offer on UA-cam. Check it out on courses.4YourCNA.com!
do we have to ask if they want a magazine?
....the patient had dentures and she brushed his teeth....however all the videos are very helpful following along with my book
For the exam, the person playing the role of "patient" will not have dentures. You will brush their natural teeth to demonstrate the technique you would use on a real patient that needs this skill performed. This is why it is demonstrated in this manner on the video - it is a demonstration of the skill in the testing setting, performed as it will appear in the exam. However, please remember that just because a patient has dentures, that doesn't mean that they have no teeth. Dentures come in 3 varieties: full plates (that replace all teeth on either the top or bottom jaw), partial dentures (that replace some teeth but have openings to fit around the patient's remaining natural teeth) and bridges (small portions of dentures that replace only a few teeth). In many cases, although the patient has dentures, they will also retain some natural teeth as well. You must brush the patient's remaining teeth in that case. Even if they have no natural teeth, the gums must be brushed to remove denture adhesive and food particles from the gums at least once a day. Failure to do so can result in gum disease, sores and may lead to oral lesions that penetrate the sinus cavities. Thank you for your comment and best of luck!
4yourCNA 👍
vicki shepherd yes I noticed that but I'm sure in real life that would be to brush the guns I think
you always brush the gums of the resident that wears dentures. just as you would a resident that has teeth only use swabs. this helps to prevent bacteria from growing in the mouth under the dentures.
Can you do a separate video for brushing teeth with flossing. Thank you 🙏
This is a great idea, we can certainly take this into consideration!
It’s my first time going to take the CNA-TEST, so what can I do in-order for me to pass
I have a problem with contamination when you dip the denture brush in the cup to get it wet. For the exam, a candidate will play the part of the resident and will not be the owner of the brush or dentures. You later ask them to rinse with that water. That can not be safe for the candidate. It would be fine in the real world, but for the exam it seems questionable.
Very good observation! For the exam, you are correct that the role of patient will be played by a testing candidate. However, these dentures are "props" for testing purposes. No one will ever put those dentures into a mouth for any reason - those dentures are purely there for demonstration purposes and are not actively used by any individual. Furthermore, that denture brush has never been used on any "real" dentures, i.e., dentures that were used by a real person. Therefore, neither the dentures or the denture brush are a source of contamination for the exam. However, if you wish to obtain 2 cups of water, one for the patient and one for the supplies, you can certainly do so. For the sake of simplicity (and since it is very difficult to address all variables in an instructional video format), we are demonstrating the simplest method that meets all testing criteria. You are free to modify to fit your needs. Great comment! Thanks!
Thanks for your prompt response. I had my clinical skills test today and I am happy to say that your videos helped me to pass with flying colors. Thank you for posting these valuable aids for prospective CNA's. I did not have this skill as one of mine, but analyzing your process sure helped me perform the skills I did draw. Thanks again.
Congratulations! Best of luck in your new career! :-)

Hi Ms Patti, am new here and I wanted to clarify something. I read somewhere that your not supposed to use toothpaste on dentures. Why
My friend took an in-person CNA prep course about 3 months ago, and she was told that you shouldn't let the basin touch the inside of the sink during the exam. It's set down here and in the rest of the videos that require basin washing. Should we not be setting the basin down?
This is not a graded checkpoint on the exam, and an important principle in infection control is that the outside surface is not considered clean. When disinfecting (not done for the test but may be required in a clinical setting), you cannot hold the basin with your dirty hand while disinfecting, which is why we set it down, spray it (if required), then use a paper towel as a barrier between your soiled hand/glove and the basin. Hope this helps! :-)
@@4yourcna Awesome, thank you for the response!
I’m taking test on 11th! So nervous 🤢🤢
Good luck I’m taking mines on the 12

Can we do the skills the same for the Arkansas state testing
should i say "the water is not cold" before washing the dentures and brush it? that's how we were taught
You should use cool running water to clean dentures. However, verbalizing it is not a graded checkpoint for the exam. You can view all graded checkpoints on Prometric's website under the "clinical skills checklist" Best of luck!
So do you keep this tooth brush for all test sites ?
how to order your guide book miss ? interested to order
When making a correction do i do the actually correction or just say the correction?
You must perform all actions for credit, unless told otherwise. For instance, you cannot say, "I would have performed mouth care", you would have to actually DO mouth care. But you can say, "Correction, I would have used a paper towel to turn the faucet on," to prevent getting a deficiency in infection control. Please see our video on corrections for more information ua-cam.com/video/hs3NQLsliX0/v-deo.html&lc=Ugx6JWxZ8JX9sJ7ALrB4AaABAg Best of luck on the exam! :-) Don't forget to like and subscribe!
Hi, I noticed that you turned the faucet on with a paper towel (once dentures are at sink), however you did not turn off faucet with paper towel, is this step correct. Thanks
After washing the dentures, the gloves are considered dirty and dirty gloves can touch a dirty faucet. So, a paper towel is not required at this step. However, you can always use a paper towel if you are unsure. Best of luck!
that's what I was thinking no paper towel to turn off and off sink but igs different rules apply in different states.
You MUST use a paper towel to turn on the sink before you start (to keep your hands/gloves clean) but you are allowed to touch the faucet with dirty gloves after cleaning to turn faucet off because the faucet is dirty and so are your gloves. When in doubt, use a paper towel (but it is not REQUIRED when you are touching the faucet with dirty hands). This does not vary by state - it is a nursing principle. Thanks and best of luck!
Thank you 💕💕
