Take a free Maine CNA practice test online: a full 105-question paper with every answer explained, no sign-up, scored by topic. The full 105-question bank and the timed simulator are $14.99 for 30 days.
CNA Practice Test (ME): a 105-question practice bank for the real Healthcare & Pharmacy Certification standard, 3 full papers of 105 questions each with no repeats, every question written to the exam sponsor's published content outline.
Where these questions come from
Every question in this bank cites a source -- primarily OBRA-87 Nurse Aide Training content outline (66%) and 42 CFR (14%) of this exam's citations.
Content areas follow the federal OBRA-87 (42 CFR 483.151-154) Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Program structure, as administered in Maine by Prometric under contract with the Maine Department of Health and Human Services / Division of Licensing and Certification. Maine requires a minimum of 130 hours of state-approved training (classroom, skills lab, and supervised clinical) before testing, and the skills evaluation requires correctly performing at least 7 of 10 randomly selected nurse aide tasks including hand hygiene. No official numeric percentage breakdown of the written/oral knowledge test is published by Prometric for Maine specifically, so state- and program-specific domains below use equal-ish weighting reflecting their share of the actual tested content areas.
Take a full practice test free. 105 real questions built to the exam's domain weights, every answer explained, no sign-up required, with a domain-by-domain score at the end.

5 real sample questions
If a nurse aide observes a change in a resident's condition, such as new confusion or a skin change, the aide should:
A. Report the observation promptly to the nurse in charge
B. Wait until the next scheduled shift meeting, even if hours away, to mention it
C. Only document it without ever verbally informing the nurse
D. Decide independently whether the change is significant enough to require any treatment
Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: A. Report the observation promptly to the nurse in charge
Correct. Nurse aides are trained to promptly report observed changes in condition to the licensed nurse, who can then assess and determine any needed clinical response.
B: A significant change should be reported promptly, not delayed until a distant, unrelated meeting.
C: Both documentation and verbal reporting to the nurse are generally expected for significant observations, not documentation alone.
D: Determining treatment decisions is outside a nurse aide's scope of practice; that clinical judgment belongs to licensed nursing/medical staff.

If a resident is on a "thickened liquids" diet order, the nurse aide should:
A. Decide independently to change the thickness level based on personal preference
B. Withhold all fluids entirely because thickened liquids seem unnecessary
C. Follow the specific thickness level ordered, since thickened liquids help reduce aspiration risk for some swallowing disorders
D. Give the resident only regular thin liquids instead, ignoring the order
Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: C. Follow the specific thickness level ordered, since thickened liquids help reduce aspiration risk for some swallowing disorders
Correct. Thickened liquid orders are a specific clinical intervention to reduce aspiration risk and must be followed as prescribed.
A: Diet modifications are ordered by qualified clinical staff (e.g., physician, speech-language pathologist); a nurse aide should not independently alter them.
B: Withholding fluids entirely is inappropriate and can lead to dehydration; the correct approach is following the ordered modification, not eliminating fluids.
D: Substituting regular thin liquids against a specific medical order can significantly increase aspiration risk for the resident.

Recording a resident's food and fluid intake is important primarily because it helps:
A. Determine the facility's weekly grocery budget
B. Replace the need for a dietitian's involvement entirely
C. Satisfy a purely optional recordkeeping preference with no clinical value
D. The care team monitor nutritional and hydration status and identify residents at risk of malnutrition or dehydration
Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: D. The care team monitor nutritional and hydration status and identify residents at risk of malnutrition or dehydration
Correct. Intake tracking supports monitoring nutritional/hydration status and flags residents who may be at risk, informing the broader care plan.
A: Intake records support individual resident care monitoring, not general facility purchasing/budget decisions.
B: Intake documentation supports, rather than replaces, a dietitian's clinical assessment and involvement.
C: Accurate intake and output documentation carries real clinical significance and is generally a required, not merely optional, part of resident monitoring.

A normal adult oral body temperature is generally considered to be approximately:
A. 78.6°F (25.9°C)
B. 108.6°F (42.6°C)
C. 58.6°F (14.8°C)
D. 98.6°F (37°C)
Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: D. 98.6°F (37°C)
Correct. 98.6°F (37°C) is the commonly cited average normal adult oral body temperature, though normal ranges vary somewhat by individual and measurement method.
A: 78.6°F is far too low to be compatible with human life; this is not a viable body temperature.
B: 108.6°F would represent a severe, life-threatening hyperthermia, not a normal temperature.
C: 58.6°F is far too low to be compatible with human life; this is not a viable body temperature.

When measuring blood pressure with a manual sphygmomanometer, the top (systolic) number represents:
A. The resident's respiratory rate
B. The pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts and pumps blood
C. The pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats
D. The resident's pulse rate in beats per minute
Show answer and reasoning
Correct answer: B. The pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts and pumps blood
Correct. Systolic pressure is the arterial pressure during heart contraction (systole), the higher of the two blood pressure numbers.
A: Respiratory rate is a separate vital sign entirely, unrelated to the blood pressure reading.
C: That describes diastolic pressure, the bottom number, measured when the heart is relaxed between beats.
D: Pulse rate is a separate vital sign, measured in beats per minute, not represented by the systolic blood pressure number.
