Restorative care helps patients regain physical strength and movement following injury or surgery. It can be a lengthy process and involves ongoing care and support by a CNA. The goal of restorative care is to maximize the patient’s independence and function. The CNA is a vital team member, helping patients relearn to care for themselves and become active again. The CNA’s patience and encouragement can make a huge difference in their recovery. Many CNAs begin their careers in restorative care facilities, such as assisted living facilities or nursing homes. Allowing residents to do as much as possible while teaching them safe ways to perform daily activities can be satisfying work. Often a CNA will choose to stay in these settings. The CNA examination includes 3–5 questions (about 5% of the total) on restorative care, depending on how many total questions your state requires for the exam. The restorative services questions may be part of the Physical Care Skills category, or they may be in their own section.
For this practice test on Restorative Services, some of the topics include the following:- Use of gait or transfer belts
- Scenarios with stroke patients
- Range of motion (ROM) exercises
- Walking devices to assist patients
- Complications of extended bed rest
To mimic the setting of the real CNA examination, find a place that is quiet and empty to take this practice test. Each practice question is multiple choice with four answer options. Read the question carefully and select the best answer. If you need help, click on the Hint button that’s under the fourth option. When you select the correct answer, you’ll proceed to the next question. If you make a mistake, an explanation will pop up to reinforce your knowledge. If you leave a practice test before you complete it, you can return to it at the point that you left off. You may take each practice test as many times as you wish. Each time, the practice questions will be rearranged. Good luck!
