About this Exam

The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Resident-Based Competency Evaluation is the essential final milestone for individuals seeking to begin a career in nursing support, particularly within long-term care facilities, nursing homes, and assisted living communities.

This exam is rigorously designed to assess whether an aspiring nurse aide possesses the requisite knowledge, practical skills, and compassionate understanding to provide safe, dignified, and effective care to residents who cannot fully care for themselves.

Passing this exam validates that you are ready to be placed on the State Nurse Aide Registry, making it the gateway for dedicated individuals who want to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the elderly and chronically ill.

Sample Questions

Question 1
How can you help the resident with COPD and his/her family?
Ask the family to leave when the resident is experiencing shortness of breath (SOB) to avoid increased anxiety in the resident.
Be patient when working with the resident with SOB.
Speak to the resident in a calm and reassuring manner.
B and C.
Explanation:
Residents with COPD may become anxious when short of breath, so the CNA should remain patient and speak calmly. Calm reassurance and patience help reduce fear and support breathing; sending the family away automatically is not person-centered unless directed by the nurse or care plan.
Question 2
Leaving a resident who is having increased periods of SOB could cause severe anxiety.
True.
False.
Explanation:
This statement is true because leaving a resident alone during worsening shortness of breath can increase fear and anxiety. The CNA should stay calm, provide reassurance, and report worsening breathing to the nurse promptly.
Question 3
Which approach is important for the resident to understand and use when having increased SOB?
Deep breathing exercises.
Pursed lip breathing.
Mouth breathing.
All of the above
Explanation:
Pursed-lip breathing is the best technique for increased shortness of breath because it helps slow breathing, keeps airways open longer, and improves air movement. Mouth breathing alone is not preferred, and deep breathing may not be as effective during COPD-related air trapping.
Question 4
Which factor is important to know when making sure a resident's weight is correct.
Time of day.
Clothing or other items worn by the resident (braces, splints and artificial limbs).
Wheelchair.
All of the above.
Explanation:
Accurate weights require consistency in time of day, clothing, assistive devices, and wheelchair use. These factors can change the number on the scale and may hide or falsely suggest fluid gain or weight loss.
Question 5
Swelling (edema) that should be reported to the nurse may occur in:
Lower extremities.
Sacrum.
Abdomen.
All of the above
Explanation:
Edema can appear in the lower extremities, sacrum, and abdomen, especially in residents with circulation or heart problems. Any new or worsening swelling should be reported because it may signal fluid retention or declining condition.
