Pass your Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) state board exam on the first attempt with this comprehensive 2026 study guide and complete review. The CNA exam consists of a written (knowledge) test – typically 60–70 multiple-choice questions (60 scored + 10 unscored pretest items) – and a clinical skills evaluation requiring performance of 5 hands-on skills drawn from a 23-skill pool in about 30 minutes. In 2026, the written exam has shifted to scenario-based questions, while the clinical skills exam places heavy emphasis on Safety and Resident Rights – missing a single "Bold Step" results in automatic failure. This resource features 600+ exam-style questions with verified correct answers and detailed rationales for every question – all graded A+. Fully aligned with the 2026 NNAAP test plan and Prometric CNA Examination Blueprint covering all five major domains: Roles, Responsibilities & Communication, Safety, Infection Control & Vital Signs, Basic Nursing Skills, Psychosocial Care, and Rights & Independence (the final domain is also referred to as Client Rights and Independence). Covers resident rights, activities of daily living (ADLs), infection prevention, safety procedures, patient care techniques, vital signs measurement, restorative care, dementia care, catheter care, and legal/ethical standards. Also includes clinical skills preparation covering the 23-skill pool including hand hygiene (required on every skills exam), vital signs, ambulation with belt, catheter care, and range of motion. Updated for the 2026/2027 testing cycle – your A+ guaranteed pass resource.
