Great job! It is so nice when I see people who have viewed the videos. Thanks
Dr. Lee. I binged your video all day and night for two days straight I met a girl while I was waiting at my testing center and she wasn't taught the Prometric way so we saw all your videos and I taught her the way my instructor taught me. Happy to report we passed our exams 6/10/23 thank you so so much for what your doing for all these CNAs. Good luck to everyone don't stress
Thanks so much
Hey, when did you register for your CNA exam. I finished training since June, 2023 and still not able to register for exams because of Tulip issues. Please let me know when you registered so i know if i am the only one not able to register. Thank you.
Thank you, Dr. Lee. I am the caregiver for my elderly mother in law who is bedridden from a stroke. I have learned so much from you about how to care for her. I look forward to more of your videos.
Wonderful Elizabeth!

21 would be the third time I am taking my clinical test. I was failed for handwashing the second time. I have been studying with this videos...I pray to make it this time. Thank you for these well detailed information.
You got this Tochukwu! Most students who fail handwashing include the cleaning of the nailbeds and cuticles in with the 20 seconds. That is a failing mistake. I will be praying you do very well this time around. Take care.
Thank you so much!! I studied and studied these videos and went to the links of cna plus that you recommended in a comment ago awhile back and I got 60/60 on the written portion and aced the skills portion first try! THANK YOU

Hi Dr.Lee
I wish you remember me ;) , I am here to tell you I passed my CNA test yesterday .
Thank you for all your classes. And all the videos on CZcams.
All the best !
Great job! Yes I remember you Guan. I was following your name with the state and saw that you passed on the 19th. Thanks for getting back to me.
Aloha Dr. Lee, I just want to say how much I appreciate you, I live in Hawaii and passed my state license in 2004. I have since worked in memory care, hospice, rehabilitation, home health and psychiatric units. While working in psych my licence lapsed and now I need to retake exam to move my licence back to active. I was just hired on an acute pediatric psych unit and although I do not need this particular license I want it back. I am also applying for nursing school. Your videos have helped me so much I think over the years skills can turn into something you don’t think about but just do. For instance in home health sometimes you really have to make due with what you have. The tips and tricks you learn along the way are NOT going to help me pass and honestly have made me so nervous. Your videos have given me a crash corse In the steps and I can’t thank you enough. So let this also be some advice to first time test takers your license can and will lapse depending on what department you work on so please be advised to check your state requirements and figure out what you need to do to keep your license or you will have to retake this exam depending on where you are in Hawaii you absolutely will. Best of luck to all and Dr. Lee sending you and your sister so much gratitude for your videos my exam is in two days and I now feel confident I can pass…. Again.
Hello Leanna, Have you checked with the State Nurse Aide Department in Hawaii about renewing your license?
I am asking because if you lived in Texas, and have been working with patients (even in psy) the state would renew your certification and NOT have you retest. Sometimes a person will get advice from someone who doesn't know the state requirements.
In Texas, a person would: #1 have their employer sign and NOTARIZE a form stating the person has been working in HEALTHCARE for a certain amount of time (it doesn't matter the department, you only have to be working with patients. This includes private duty) #2 submit proof of continuing education hours from an approved agency, and #3 submit a copy of your government ID to state and the person is renewed.
For each year that was lapsed, the student must be able to present a notarized statement of working in healthcare from the company or private duty family.
I hope this makes sense. Check directly with your state agency, to see if they follow the same guidelines or similar ones like TEXAS. No sense in retesting if you don't have too.
@@txcnaskills2599 yes I have checked and Prometrics still is requiring me to retest, my test is tomorrow.
@@Leannawittmer Prometrics does not require a person to retest for the state. Prometric administers the test and puts the passing students name in a data base. The state nurse aide agency of Hawaii tells the person if they need to test or not.

You’re welcome 😊
Hello Dr. Lee
I have two questions: are they still testing for mouth care ?
For indirect care like lowering bed to a positions and locking the bed wheels I was taught we have to include all that In our opening and closing procedures is that correct ?
Thank you! I enjoy your videos !
Hello Yesena, I will place a link to the Indirect Care Behaviors checklist below.
Now to answer your question, The candidate DOES NOT have to lower the bed or lock the bed wheels during ANY of the skills. This is not a requirement.
www.prometric.com/sites/default/files/IndirectCareBehaviors.pdf
Look at the bullet points for the requirements.
I’m so thankful I found your channel before I start my CNA classes. Please forgive me if you have recently answered this question, as of 2023 are they starting to test on the oral skills again? Again thank you so much for your channel it’s helped me so much already and I’m excited to complete my courses!
Hello, yes, Prometric is testing on all of the oral skills (denture care, brushing the teeth, and feeding).
Hi Dr Lee!!
Question? Are all of your skills videos still all the same for 2023? Nothing has changed for the skills? I’m taking my state exam in may and I just want to make sure all the videos are accurate still times are always changing thank you so much for what you do😊😊
@@Snooginss94 my class still uses her videos to teach so I’d say they’re still accurate 👍
good day I was wondering if you have any video demo for providing medication administration or if you could suggest any videos here on CZcams close to the Prometric standards. I am about to have my HCA exam on Thursday the 29th and your videos have been a huge help so thank you!!!
Hello Patricia, I am sorry I don't have videos on passing medications.
Hi Dr. Lee, thank you for your videos, they are really helpful. Do we leave the head of the bed up after oral care or does it not matter?
Hello LaKisha, Prometric does not give guidance about putting the HOB down after mouth care. I teach my students to leave the HOB elevated at the end of the skill.
Hi Dr Lee!!! Thanks for all your help!
I have a question, for all the skills do I have to lock and low the bed? Or just provide privacy? Thank you very much
Hello, Prometric does not require the student to lock the bed wheels or lower the bed. When you start the skill the bed will be already lowered and locked.
Thanks 👍
Thank you too
Hi Dr.Lee just wondering does the CNA skills test now include denture care,mouth care and feeding I think some months ago because of the pandemic they had excluded these skills from the test.
Hello Tsion, Those skills are still excluded as of today, 1-15-22.
Thank you so for much for these videos, I have my prometric exam next week and I'm using your videos as a review!
Since it's covid, will mouth related skills still be tested? Because I remember they weren't being tested last year
Hello Erika,
All of the mouth related skills are still on hold with Prometric due to COVID-19.
@@txcnaskills2599 thank you!
@@txcnaskills2599 What are all the skills that will be on hold due to Covid? My mom and I will take our tests tomorrow.
Hello Dr. Lee. I will be taking my Prometric skills test next month and I was wondering whether you're supposed to ask the resident if they're comfortable sitting like that or if they would like to lay back down? And then do as they say? Or do we just leave them up as you did?
I would leave the patient in the sitting position.
Thanks, Dr. Lee,but if my memory serves me right, you had raised the bed, and you didn't lower it back after care
I'm about to take my exams and your videos and will be helpful.
Hello Genipher, The state does not require the student to lower the HOB after brushing the teeth. This is not written as a step.
I find your videos very helpful, thank you. I noticed some videos are a year or two old, are they still good for testing in 2023? I've been watching them and my test is next Friday and I thought I'd make sure. Thank you again
Yes they are
@@txcnaskills2599 Thank you for your response
Dr. Lee, do we have to lower the head of the bed back down at the end? Also, have mouth care skills been added back to Prometrics yet? I take my test on Wednesday.
No, you don't.
Hi Dr. Lee I am in Florida watching your videos so it is not a problem when you doing mouch care to put the patient back in the supine position when you’re done?
Hello, I teach my students to keep the patient in the fowlers position for mouth care.
Hello Dr Lee is the bed not suppose to be in flat position before saying skill complete. Thanks so much for taking out time to do the teaching videos
Hello Queen, I just checked my video. I started with my sister supine. Yes, the bed is to be flat before starting this skill which is what I did.
Ok Thanks Dr Lee
Hello Doctor Lee, so I'm hearing in Austin texas, some skills will not be tested. By any chance if true, do you know what that will be?
Hello M Hinton, At the present time in Texas the oral skills are not being tested due to Covid precautions (Dentures, Brushing Teeth, and Feeding)
hi! have they added any oral skills (feeding, brushing, denture care) back into testing?
Hello Brooke, As of 5-15-22 in Texas the oral skills have not been added into the testing sessions.
I was curious if they have added back in the oral skills for prometrics, i take my exam 6/23/22
thanks in advance!
Hello Sofia, the oral skills have not been added in Texas of as 6-23-22.
Hi Dr Lee I was wondering if I need to leave the resident sitting up straight after I have done the skill? Will that count against me?
I teach my students to ALWAYS leave the patient sitting up after this skill.
I have question when washing your hands do you have to assimilate washing hands or do you actually have to wash them
Hello Carla, You MUST wash your hands for the first skill. After the first skill, you will assimilate handwashing.
DR. LEE, I just took my skills test yesterday for TX and I PASSED!! All thanks to your videos!! Thank you so much for all you do!!! 🩷🩷
This was actuall one of my skills!!
Congratulation Ashten. I am so happy for you.
Congratulation Ashten. I am so happy for you.
Congratulation Ashten. I am so happy for you.
Dr Lee, when people present the skills test, it supposed that the evaluator tell if will be laying down or in a chair? Or the CNA should know? Thank you in advance
Hello, If the skill requires the client to be in a chair, the evaluator will have the client sit in a chair. The evaluator will not tell you what to do. The student needs to know to perform the skill in the chair or bed. I hope this makes sense.
@UC7tURy4nMdx3Rrut1t0oUdw Dr Lee Thanks for your videos. I have a question. If I close the curtain on the patient before I go to wash my hands and start the skill. Would I have to open it when I finish the skill before taking off my gloves and washing my hands?
Hello Carolina, You need to do the skill as if you were with a real patient.
Would you walk into a client's room and close the curtain, then go out and knock on the door. NO, you would not.
Therefore, knock on the door, talk to the client, close the curtain, and then go wash your hand.
Beautiful evening to you Dr Lee you are indeed a great teacher, were is your school location at SW Houston tx ma
Hello Queen, I am a block from Memorial Hermann SW.
@@txcnaskills2599 Didn't know you were in Houston! i am, too! I'm starting class again since I finished my course in December 2019 and then COVID and Prometric got in the way. I'm starting again THIS month but im bummed out that its still not face to face because i enjoyed going to the nursing home. In my experience i disliked lab time.
@@txcnaskills2599 wow your in houston omg
Thanks for sharing useful video Dr Lee. but I think before you leave, you should ask the client that she wants you to lower the head of the bed or not bcoz that's 90 degree fowler position. 😮😍
Hello, Prometric does nor require us to lower the head of the bed for this skill.
Thanks for liking the video.
I noticed in some of your videos you give the patient the call light with gloves but in this one you take them off first. Does this matter?
Prometric only requires that the person has the call light before the end of the skill.
After the skill ended, I was not supposed to make the resident in the same position ?
With the teeth brushing skill, please leave the resident in the fowlers position.
Do i need to put a barrier on the sink and put the resident's bed back down?
Hello, You do not need a barrier on the sink. Please leave the resident sitting up in a fowler's position. A barrier is needed when placing supplies on the overbed table.
Hey Dr. Lee, how are you? Are these videos still relevant for the Texas CNA testing?
Hello, yes they are.
Our students got counted off for this scale. Prometric said "Assist resident position upright 60-90 degrees and offer pillows as needed. Do we have to offer pillows ? and do we have to lay the patient back down to supine or can we leave them in a upright position ?
Hello Kristen,
Prometric states for this skill in step #3:
Assist resident to sitting position in bed by raising HOB and using pillows as needed to position resident upright at 60° to 90° before offering fluid or brushing teeth?
The pillows are only needed if they will help the patient get to a Fowlers position. The pillows are as needed and NOT MANADATORY.
Prometric does not give instructions to leave the patient in fowlers or to place the patient in a supine position. Therefore, the evaluator can not grade the student on this issue because there is no step to mark the person on for it. This issue is NOT addressed in the indirect care behaviors handout.
Hello Dr.Lee. would I have to lower the bed after I'm finished.
Hello Demetris, You can just leave the bed in fowlers position.
hi dr. lee! do they do oral skills in texas as of today?
Hello, The oral skills are done in all states testing with Prometric. Yes, they are done in Texas.
Hello, DR. Lee,
For this skill should we have the client test the water temperature before they rinse with it?
Hello, The client does not have to test the water for the tooth brushing skill.
@@txcnaskills2599 Thank you so much for your response.
Question: Do you have a video on Medication Administration skill? I’ve been searching for it I can’t find it. - When the candidate dispenses medication from bottle to cap of the bottle, should the candidate hand the ‘client’ the cap or should they dispense it into the clients hand/palm? 😊😊 Thank you for all you do.
thank you so much for the videos!!! I learned a lot. they were so helpfull!!!! I need a favor. I have a questions. 1- Can a CNA remove a denture of a person who passed away? 2- how to take a rectal temp for an old person, is laying on their stomach? who to take care of a prosthetic eye? 3- if a wife of patient was complaining about her husband hair not wash daily? do you promise to wash it or let her talk to the charge nurse? Thanks again!!!❤❤❤❤💞💞💞💞
Hello, Let me try to answer your questions.
.1- Can a CNA remove a denture of a person who passed away? I would talk to the charge nurse to get guidance. I normally leave the patient's dentures in place unless the nurse ask me to remove them.
2- how to take a rectal temp for an old person, is laying on their stomach? We perfer the patient to be lateral or sims. If the person is prone, you should reposition the patient on their side.
who to take care of a prosthetic eye? Not sure what you are asking here. If the patient has an artificial eye, the patient can remove it and clean it as needed.
3- if a wife of patient was complaining about her husband hair not wash daily? do you promise to wash it or let her talk to the charge nurse? You should refer all complaints to the charge nurse.
Thank you so much😍😍🥰🥰🥰💞💞💞
another question, do we need to leave the bed over the table? move it? or ask the patient their preference?
Hello Nerm210, The placement of the over-bed table does not matter on the state exam.
When you pushed back the certain was that for the resident to see you or us?
that was for you to see what I was doing.
The patient is still in the sitting position. Is it proper to leave them that way after the skill?
Hello, After the mouth care, dentures, and feeding the student should leave the client in the sitting position. Great question. Take care and good luck on the 21st.
@@txcnaskills2599 alright Thank you so much
Dr lee at what point do we get the cup of water.
Hello, You will get the cup of water when gathering your supplies before starting the procedure.
Dr. Lee, do we lay the patient flat, before we start? And then once we're ready, change to a 60/90 angle
Hello, If the patient is not sitting ALL THE WAY UP in bed, the student should place the patient in High Fowler's position before starting this position.
Thank you@@txcnaskills2599
Hi how you doing I just want to know do we actually wash our hands or we just say wash hands
Hello, You ONLY have to physically wash your hands during the first skill. After that, you can tell the evaluator you would wash your hands.
Hi Dr. Lee, have they added back the oral skills as of 08-08-22?
Hello, As of August 8, 2022 the oral skills have NOT been added. I think Covid BA5 has a lot to do with that.
@@txcnaskills2599 thank you so much for answering. your videos are really helpful. have a blessed day :)
Do you have to put the bed back in supine ?
Hello, After mouth care the student should leave the bed in the fowlers position.
Hey Dr. Lee , what is the passing score for the written test for the state of Texas for prometric ?
Hello Destine,
There are 60 questions on the written test. You can miss 12 and pass.
Hey Dr.Lee , I am officially certified ! God helped me remember everything from your videos and I followed your instructions. Even with leaving the bed alone during the test lol. I thank God for your videos and how you explain everything so well. Thank you and God bless ❤
Dr Ly do you have a MA test guide?
If i have EKG, CPR, CPT and CNA is consider a MA?
Hello Bilal,
Let me make sure I understand your question.
MA is used for a couple of things. One is medical assistant and the second is for medication aide. Which one are you referring too?

Do we need to brush the teeth for a certain amount of time?

Hey, you don’t lower the bed when you’re done?
No you don't for this skill.
We were wondering was this your sister helping with the skills?
Yes, That is my fraternal twin. I am 5 minutes older.
Do you have to put bed back down ?
Hello, Prometric does NOT require the student to put the HOB back down after brushing the teeth.
@@txcnaskills2599 thank you .. have tomorrow just nervous
lets talk about the secretions. where to pour it, in the sink?
Hello, the oral secretions will be poured into the sink. This is similar to a person brushing their teeth at home. The person will put his/her secretions in the sink.
Pray for me 😭🙏 my test is tomorrow
Sending up prayers now.
Thank you so much for the video. Do you know if they are doing any mouth skills currently?

Hello, The lowering of the HOB for Prometric is not a requirement for this skill. The candidate MUST raise the HOB (STEP 3) but the state does NOT require that the HOB be lowered. If you see a different rule let me know.
Is this accident ? 2k23
