What this exam covers
5 real sample questions
Which range is generally accepted as a normal resting pulse rate for an adult?
A. 40-60 beats per minute
B. 60-100 beats per minute
C. 100-140 beats per minute
D. 140-160 beats per minute
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. 60-100 beats per minute

Correct. 60-100 beats per minute is the accepted normal adult resting pulse range nurse aides are trained to recognize.

  • A: Too slow; this range is bradycardic and should be reported, not treated as normal.
  • C: Too fast; this range is tachycardic and should be reported.
  • D: Far too fast for a resting adult pulse; this would be an emergency finding.
Source: 42 CFR § 483.152(b)(2)
What is the generally accepted normal adult respiration rate range at rest?
A. 4-8 breaths per minute
B. 12-20 breaths per minute
C. 24-30 breaths per minute
D. 30-40 breaths per minute
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. 12-20 breaths per minute

Correct. 12-20 breaths per minute is the accepted normal adult resting respiration range.

  • A: Too slow; this is dangerously low and must be reported immediately.
  • C: Too fast for a normal resting rate; this should be reported as abnormal.
  • D: Far too fast; this would indicate a medical emergency.
Source: 42 CFR § 483.152(b)(2)
A nurse aide is taking a resident's radial pulse. Where is the radial artery located?
A. On the neck, beside the trachea
B. On the wrist, on the thumb side
C. On the inside of the elbow
D. On the top of the foot
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. On the wrist, on the thumb side

Correct. The radial pulse is taken on the thumb side of the wrist, over the radial artery.

  • A: This describes the carotid pulse site, not the radial pulse.
  • C: This describes the brachial pulse site.
  • D: This describes the pedal pulse site.
Source: 42 CFR § 483.152(b)(2)
When giving a bed bath, in what general order should a nurse aide wash a resident's body?
A. Perineal area first, then face, working upward
B. Cleanest areas first, moving to the dirtiest areas last
C. Dirtiest areas first so soap is not wasted
D. In no particular order, as long as the whole body is washed
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. Cleanest areas first, moving to the dirtiest areas last

Correct. Washing clean-to-dirty (face before perineal area) prevents spreading microorganisms to less-soiled areas of the body.

  • A: This reverses the correct order and risks spreading contamination to cleaner areas.
  • C: This risks contaminating cleaner body areas with organisms from the perineal region.
  • D: A clean-to-dirty sequence is required to prevent cross-contamination.
Source: 42 CFR § 483.152(b)(3)
A nurse aide is performing oral care for an unconscious resident. What position best protects the resident from choking or aspiration?
A. Flat on the back
B. Side-lying position with the head turned slightly down
C. Sitting bolt upright with the head tilted back
D. Prone (face down)
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. Side-lying position with the head turned slightly down

Correct. A side-lying position with the head turned slightly downward allows fluid to drain out of the mouth rather than down the airway.

  • A: Lying flat on the back increases the risk that fluid or debris will be aspirated into the airway.
  • C: An unconscious resident cannot safely be positioned sitting upright unassisted.
  • D: Prone positioning is not used for oral care and does not protect the airway during the procedure.
