Question 4: Tips for the Skills Evaluation

Answer:

? You will be expected to perform the skills as you would in a nursing home setting. When water is required, you must use running water.All candidates will be required to perform the Hand Hygiene skill. The evaluator will inform you after you have washed your hands for the first time that you should just tell him or her when you would wash your hands during your performance of the rest of the skills, rather than actually washing them for each skill.For all steps other than hand-washing, you must actually perform the skill in order to receive credit. You may not simply tell the evaluator what you would do for simulating a step. For example, you may not simply tell the evaluator that you would wash the client. You must actually demonstrate washing the

client. You may not simply tell the evaluator that you would feed the client. You must actually demonstrate feeding the client. ? After you have introduced yourself to the client for the first time, it is not necessary for you to introduce yourself each time you begin a new skill. ?To receive full credit for a measurement skill, you must accurately make the required measurement and then write that measurement on the Recording Sheet for Measurement Skills. The evaluator will provide the Recording Sheet to you at the test site. A sample of the Recording Sheet is shown on page 21 of this handbook. You are encouraged to become familiar with the Recording Sheet before your scheduled test date. ? You must know how to operate both a standing and a non-digital bathroom scale and must know how to set both types of scales to zero. ? You may not bring any of your own equipment to the test site (i.e. transfer/gait belt). ? It is important for you to place the call signal within the client's reach whenever you leave the client. ?
