Ohio State Tested Nursing Assistant Practice Test

The content is tailored to prepare candidates for the Ohio State Tested Nursing Assistant (STNA) certification exam, focusing on foundational knowledge in patient care, medical terminology, safety procedures, and human development. Topics include bed types and preventive equipment (e.g., alternating pressure mattress for skin breakdown prevention), neurological conditions (e.g., CVA for cerebral vascular accident/stroke, paralysis from nerve injury), vital signs and abnormalities (e.g., tachycardia as rapid heartbeat), mobility and safety aids (e.g., wheelchair safety with locked brakes and swung-away footrests, gait belts), preventive measures (e.g., antiembolitic stockings for blood clot prevention), musculoskeletal issues (e.g., contracture as muscle shortening), basic physiology (e.g., hydration for fluid balance, extremity as distal limb part), medical devices (e.g., indwelling catheter remaining in the body), abbreviations (e.g., BP for blood pressure), growth concepts (e.g., developmental process), anatomical terms (e.g., suprapubic above the pubic bone), bodily secretions (e.g., sputum as expectorated saliva mixture), psychological aspects (e.g., self-esteem as personal value), equipment (e.g., tubing as pipes), motivational theories (e.g., Maslow's hierarchy of needs: physiological, safety, love, esteem, self-actualization), certification processes (e.g., competency evaluation for nursing assistants), eye conditions (e.g., cataracts as lens clouding), and respiratory risks (e.g., aspiration as inhaling foreign substances into lungs).
