6 Counts and Records Radial Pulse

These videos contain all 22 possible skills exactly as you should perform them for the Georgia CNA exam or any other state that uses Pearson VUE for testing. For the skill portion of the state CNA test, you will have 30 minutes to perform 5 skills. Your 5 skills will be selected randomly by Pearson VUE except that they will include Hand Hygiene as your first skill. You will also have one measuring skill (either Pulse, Blood Pressure, Measure Urine Output, Respirations or Weight), and you will have 3 other randomly selected skills. These videos and the testing techniques used in them can help you pass the skills portion of your CNA test. Good Luck!

Can you explain the critical step. How I record the actual pulse in the exam

[thurgoodwesson]

So...after the pulse beats have been counted. I wash my hands, write down numbers, perform peanut butter jelly, then wash my hands again?

How does credential want us to record the pulse ? Like if I get 88 just say pulse 88?

Counting pulse for 1 min
Or count pulse for 15 seconds multiply by 4

In counting respirations, is it ok to not to touch the patient? Just count it visually?
