Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 12. 2020
- According to Prometric guidelines for the nurse aide state exam, this is a step-by-step demonstration video for foot care. This skill is one of the 21 testable skills on the Texas State CNA Exam. Remember to include indirect care with this skill. You will start this skill with the client sitting in a chair. You must support the leg at all times while providing care and NEVER let the foot touch the floor.
DR LEE!!! I passed my skills test 4/3 on my first try.. THANKS TO YOU! 🎉♥️
Excellent! Congratulations
I start my second week on CNA class 07/01/2024. I was a CNA for ten years back in the 90s. I am so ready to finish class, take my state exam and start working. Thanks for all the videos. I will be 100% ready by test time.
Best of luck!
Dr. Lee you’re the best!!! I took my skills test on 07/02/2024 and the result came 07/03/2024 I passed at my first attempt . Thank you ❤

Thank you Dr. Lee! I watch all your videos and i pass my clinical test ( Midand TX) I had foot care and the part when you clearly says no lotion between the toes... i was talking to my self outloud during testing and i literally repeat word for word" " Dr Lee says no lotion between the toes" the evaluator busted out laughing 😆 😂 🤣 I couldn't keep a straight face anymore i laugh and she says " Dr. Lee has this effect on her students🤣( She must know you or came across alot of student that watch you on CZcams.😂🤣)
***************
Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to put together those videos ❤❤ Thank you!

It's my pleasure Felecia.
I am learning more from you than the live instructor I have for classes. I thank you so much. Before I came across your videos I surely felt I was going to fail but, not now. Not how well you demonstrated all the skills. Thank you. Can't seem to say that enough to you.
You are so welcome! I pray you are successful on your first attempt Stacy.
I take my test June 15 and I have been studying and watching your videos helped me so much wish me luck
Good luck!!
I am so glad I found your videos! I am currently working as a PCA at the same hospital where I received training, but I am just getting to take my state exam. I was nervous for the exam because I have only worked on a labor & delivery unit so I haven’t had much practice with ADL’s such as foot care and ROM skills. But after watching your videos I am much more confident for my exam tomorrow. Thank you so much Dr. Lee!
Hello Jasmine, I am assuming you were working as a temporary nurse aide during the pandemic. Good luck with your exam.

Hello, the best of luck to you when taking your exam.
Actually this was one of my skill test and i passed the test 6/26/23 in Arlington texas
Great. Glad to help.
Your videos are amazing! Thank you so much for all you do. My skills exam is next week and I was wondering if you knew if Prometric CNA Skills testing in Texas will still include feeding, denture, and mouth care even during the pandemic. I know that previously Pearson said they would not be testing such skills due to COVID-19 concerns. :)
Hello Amber,
During the COVID 19 epidemic Prometric will not ask students to take off their masks due to infection control precautions. Therefore, feeding, denture care, and brushing of the teeth will not be tested.
@@txcnaskills2599 Thank you so much! May God bless you :)
Dr Lee I am so grateful to have found your channel. You make the skills easy to understand. I have two questions. 1. With the increasing Covid-19 Delta Variant numbers here in Texas is Prometric testing on mouth care with teeth, mouth care with dentures, and feeding at this time? 2. I know we are tested one skill from every category, but is it also from each level of difficulty i.e. most, moderate, and least?
Hello Amie,
Prometric is not testing on the oral skill at this time in Texas which are denture care, brushing the teeth, and feeding due to COVID-19.
Prometric does not use the difficulty level for grouping skills for testing. Each candidate will be given the following:
1. Handwashing
2. Indirect Care
3. An ADL Skill
3. A measurement Skill
4. A mobility Skill
I saw a chart showing level of difficulty on Prometric’s website, which is why I asked the second question. So it is possible to get catheter care, positioning, and recording pulse in the same exam?
I appreciate your videos so much I am new at nursing I enjoy watching your videos I was wondering why you use a paper towel to put all your things away at the end of your skill when in the other videos it wasn't required to use a paper towel to put all your things away?
Hello Bridgett, It is a habit for me. When I rinse the basins, I consider the basins clean. I still have gloves on, which are dirty. The state wants the gloves to stay on.
So, I use a paper towel to keep my dirty gloved hands from touching the clean basin.
Hi, thanks for the informational video. With pearson Vue there was no need to fold the cloth in four. There is no open wound , Is it really necessary to fold the cloth?
Hello Eliza, You don't have to fold the cloth for foot care.
Hi,
I have a question. If you do not wear the gloves do you just wash your hands before and after or is there a time inbetween the foot care skill that you wash your hands?
Hello LaShane. When providing foot care you will wash your hands three times.
1. Right after introducing yourself to the client and gathering your supplies.
2. After putting away from dirty supplies and before going back to the client for the closing.
3. At the end, Just before saying you are through with the skill.
im so nervous to test but your videos give me confidence is there anything I should know before testing
Just take your time
Hey ms Lee , what other technique can I use other than holding the patient’s foot in the air ? I feel it might be too heavy to hold until the end of the skill .
Hello Julia, You can place a towel over your knee and ask the patient if he/she is comfortable with placing the leg on your knew on top of the towel. This will provide support for the leg while providing foot care. Be sure to get the patient's permission.
Hi Dr Lee. Is it ok if we rinse the foot without making a mitt to the wash cloth? prometric doesn't mention it. Will it be graded also?
Hello Albert, You are correct. Prometric does not care how we hold the washcloth when washing the foot. You are only graded on the steps listed in the Skills checklist with indirect care skills.
I can't see your 2 towels, when the video was playing, because I want to know if they are dipped inside the water basin before you start using them, or did you leave them on top of the towel on the floor?
Hello Lillian, I normally place my washcloths in the water before I start to use them. This is a personal choice.
On my checklist it mentions something about using orange stock to clean under nails and shape nails with emery board? Is that not required anymore?
Hello Marlene, Yes, an orange wooden stick is required to clean under the finger nails and NOT THE FOOT CARE. We don't put sharp things on the the feet because a person may be diabetic.
Can you rinse the soap from the foot by placing it back into the water and making sure that the soap is rinsed from all areas including from between the toes?
Hello Margie, Yes you can.
Hello after putting on the lotion do you pat dry any access lotion or is that optional?
Hello Brittney, If a lot of lotion is present, you MUST pat dry the excess lotion. This is a requirement.
Hey Dr.Lee , is there a required amount of time for soaking the foot. I looked at the checklist from prometric but, there isn't a spesfied time. I just need to soak the foot accodring to the checklist. However, my nursing skills text book recomends 30 mintues of soaking per foot.
Hello, This is a great question. The state guidelines DOES NOT require a specific time for soaking the foot during the state exam. The candidate only need to place the foot in the water and them lift the foot out to start the washing process.
Remember, during the state exam, the candidate is timed to complete the 5 skills. Therefore, don't keep the foot in the water too long, or you may run out of time. I teach my students to place the foot in the water for about 30 seconds and then start the washing process.
Thank you so much for your fantastic videos. Do you have a textbook that you prefer that is congruent with Prometrics training videos?
Not yet!
@@txcnaskills2599 Thank you :))))
You mentioned Washing hands in closing then again after checking on patient and opening curtain. Which order is it or wash again?
Hello Essence, I introduce myself to the client, tell the client what I would like to do, pull the curtain for privacy, and then wash my hand BEFORE getting my clean supplies.
Dr Lee thank you much for the teachings, I am very sure you definitely clean both feet and I want to find after the first foot do you have to change the water or you will continue with the same water on the other foot. Thank you
Hello, For the state exam, the student is ONLY expected to wash ONE FOOT.
Thank you
hi Dr Lee would it be okay In the exam if I lay the towel on the floor before I put up the paddles? Also why did you put the lotion and soap to lay flat once you return with the water?
Hello, I put the lotion and soap in the basin lying flat.
Im glad I found you thank you so much. My test is on may 14th I’ll come back to tell you how it was 😊😊
Hello Silvini, I will be waiting. The best on your exam.
Dr.Lee,So you wash and rinse toes and rinse in between toes and dry the whole foot including in between toes correct?
yes, that is correct.
hello Dr Lee thank you for all your videos , Question for this skill do you do 1 or both feet for the evaluation?? can you use a barrier instead of the towel to put on the floor?
Hello Siu,
1. Prometric requires the student wash ONE foot.
2. Prometric requires the student in step 3 to:
Place water filled basin on protective barrier on floor to prepare for foot care? Prometric does not specify what the protective barrier should be. Therefore it can be a towel, chux, sheet, or blanket, etc... The bottom line is that the basin can not be placed on the bare floor.
www.prometric.com/sites/default/files/NAClinicalSkillsChecklist.pdf
Look on page 6 for the skill and pay attention to step 3.
@@txcnaskills2599 thank so much 🙏😊
It will be nice to see the basing that is in the floor
Noted.
When I take off my gloves and say I wash my hands, do I have to wash my hands or it’s just a verbiage?
Hello, You ONLY have to verbalize washing your hands for this skill.
Hi Will all the supplies be ready for us in containers or we have to grab things individually? Located in Texas. Any changes for covid on to what is being ommitted still?
Hello, as of today (2-16-22) we are still not doing the oral skills. The students will have to get the supplies needed for each skill. All supplies will be in the testing room.
@@txcnaskills2599 do we still get a skill in these categories ?
1 ADL
1 Measurement
1 Mobility
Hey!! I took my CNA State Test on Today 6/14/24 and I passed.
Great job
Hi Dr. Lee, I have a question about foot care and I think I recall it being me mentioned in class. If we’re agile enough, which I am, I think you said we could sit on the floor to provide foot care as long as patient bare foot is on the towel. Am i correct?
Hello, Yes you are correct. Prometric does not care about the position of the candidate. They ONLY care about the patient. The patient MUST be in a chair and the foot CAN NOT touch the floor. So, you are my student. HA HA
@@txcnaskills2599 yes! Amanda from your 4/29 class. Thank you Dr Lee, you are amazing and my mom is so proud of all I’ve accomplished and she’s told me so many times how thankful she is that I was around such amazing ladies💕💕💕you, your sweet sister and ms. Madison 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Instead of sitting in a chair and doing the
foot care, can I kneel/squat on the floor barrier and do the foot care there?
Hello Miriah, Yes, you can kneel on the floor for this skill.
So do you have to get more clean water for the other foot?
You only clean one foot.
For prometrics,for foot care do we use orange stick and emery board?
No, we don't use an orange wooden stick or emery board with foot care.
I’m taking my state exams tomorrow. I pray everything goes well 🙏🏽
Hello Asa, It is already done. Let me know when you get that passing paper in your email box.
No it’s not done yet. My exams is tomorrow Tuesday at 10 am . I will definitely come back here to let you know. I have been watching your videos all day and I’m so glad I found this Chanel.
Please let us know
Sorry for coming back this late, but I passed my state exams .Thank you so much
Dr if it's a life person, are we going to remove the socks and put it back for the patients
Hello Oyin, Foot care is performed on a live person. You will remove the socks and shoes before washing and replace them after footcare.
Dr Lee ,a quick question when sitting for your state exam do you perform the skill on one foot or both?
Hello Wambui, You will only perform the skill on one foot.
Thank you, both! 🙏 I was wondering the same thing.
So is sitting in the chair while doing the skill required or is it whatever you're most comfortable with like the gloves?
Hello, The candidate can be in whatever position is comfortable for the candidate.
The patient MUST be in a chair.
So you don’t have to put the gloves on and he you have them test the water would it be anything wrong if I do put my gloves on than have them test the water?Look forward to hearing from you.
Hello, Prometric does not require the student or patient to have on gloves when testing the water.
DO I NEED TO do both of the foot???or only one during the exam
Hello Maryam, One foot.
Do you remove the privacy blanket when you're finished?
Hello Marlene, A privacy blanket is not required for the foot care skill.
Please .is it on one foot only you will need to wash during the test
Hello Annie,
Yes, the candidate is only required to wash one foot during the CNA state exam.
This video only I forgot to watch this skil i fail but thank you now for my next exam
I am sure you will do great next time. Remember, Prometric is not testing on oral skills also.
Hi Dr. Lee I will be taking my test on Saturday, for the clinical test do I need to take a partner with me to do the clinical test? What if my partner is taking the test at the same time ?
Hello Madisson, The evaluator will assign you a partner for the exam. You can't bring anyone to the exam.
Dr.Lee so you don’t have to put gloves on to have them test the water?Would it be anything wrong if I have them do so? Look forward to hearing from you.
Hello, The state does not care if the student have or don't have gloves on when testing the water.
Okay thank you
Is it only one foot when doing the footcare with Prometrics? I have test in 3 weeks very nervous
Hello. YES, for Prometric, the candidate is only required to wash ONE foot.
Is this necessary in this skill the patient on wheel chair? Or our skill partner be on a regular chair?
Hello Tayyaba, During your state exam your partner will be in a regular chair.
@@txcnaskills2599 after foot care can we put on shoes to the patient or just a sock??
Miss Mary was enjoying herself she done slumped over
HaHa. Yes, Miss Mary is spoiled.
Is Texas and Cleveland test the same method
If Cleveland test under Prometric guidelines, then the tests are the same.
Are you supposed to dry the after rinsing ?
Hello Patrick, What ever body part you wet, then, you dry it.
Hello dr lee when we do this skill with a student do we need to provide them with a bath towel over their legs?
Hello Jasmine, A bath towel is not required over the legs.
@@txcnaskills2599 Thank you so much Dr Lee
Can I kneel infront the patient to perform foot care?
Yes, you can kneel in front of the patient when doing foot care.
@@txcnaskills2599 I did that today and passed thanks to you
would i preform the skill on both feet ?
Hello Deb, Foot care is only done on ONE foot.
taking a class and teacher is training for us to kneel in front of resident? is that correct?
Prometric NEVER requires a student to kneel in front of a resident for foot care. That would be hard for health care workers with arthritis to do. How strange for someone to teach that. WOW
@@txcnaskills2599 hi thanks for answering , yes that is what i was thinking because we are told about body mechanics to avoid injury, also us on the dirty floor?
is there a checklist i can follow for the skills?
@@raquelserranogarcia www.prometric.com/sites/default/files/NAClinicalSkillsChecklist.pdf
That's what I was taught too. What do we do? Sit in a chair?
@@txcnaskills2599 we were told kneel n people tested that way
Hi Dr. Lee, is it a prometrics requirement to wash hands after verifying patient’s name tag?
Hello, Prometric has NEVER required a student to verify the patient's name tag before performing a skill. This is not a step.
Thank you so much!
I take my skills test Wednesday. My professor told us if we mess up at all we fail. I think she said that to scare us into doing our best but it has made me much more anxious. What is the true passing requirements? I have down all basic skills and hand washing and IC through out skills but I’m nervous to forget the order or some steps in doing the actual skill. What determines if we pass or fail?
Hello Kendall, Prometric does require the candidate to pass all five skills to be successful with the state exam. Now, with that being said you don't have to do everything perfect. Prometric has some steps that are considered critical steps. Prometric does not tell us what those steps are. So, you can miss some steps and still pass the exam. Pay attention to all steps involving safety, patient's right, privacy, and infection control. Those are critical when testing.
@@txcnaskills2599 thank you so much for your videos and feedback. So glad i came across this channel!
@@kendalllee3744 Great Kendell. Be sure to subscribe.
What a great question. I was just thinking about this last night. My cna exam is tomorrow morning in Massachusetts and I'm so nervous 😓.
Hi Dr lee quick question on foot care how long do we submerge the foot on water?
Should I get a clean socks after the foot care?
Hello Omawumi, Prometric guidelines state to replace the person's sock and shoe. Remember this will be on your partner, so you will just put back on what they wore to the testing site.
@@txcnaskills2599 thank you
Should i remove shoes and socks by gloves
Hello, Gloves are NOT required for this skill.
After foot care, can we put on shoes or socks to the patient?
Hello Tayyaba, You must put the shoes back on the client as part of the skill.
@@txcnaskills2599 thank u so much
Do used gloves to do it
Hello, gloves are not required for foot care.
What about putting gloves immediately after washing your hands
Hello Peter, Prometric does NOT require gloves for this skill. If you want to wear gloves, you can put the gloves on after washing your hands. There is not credit for doing so.
Can you rest leg on testers leg like that?
Hello, The patient can rest their leg on the candidate.
Should i wear gloves to remove their shoes ?
Hello, You would remove the shoe/sock before bathing the foor.
At the exam are we required to do both feet?
Hello, No. The student is only required to do ONE foot.
@@txcnaskills2599 Thank you
