Why Restorative & Rehabilitative Skills matters

Restorative & Rehabilitative Skills is a commonly tested topic on the CNA Written Examination (NNAAP) because it covers fundamental knowledge required for competent professional practice.

Sample Practice Questions (5)

1. A contracture is a condition where:

  • A joint becomes excessively flexible
  • A muscle or tendon permanently shortens, causing the joint to become fixed in one position
  • A bone fractures from too much exercise
  • The skin becomes red from pressure

2. When performing passive range of motion exercises on a resident, the CNA should STOP the movement if:

  • The resident says the exercise feels good
  • The resident reports pain or the CNA feels resistance at the joint
  • The joint has been moved through 50% of its range
  • The exercise has lasted exactly 5 minutes

3. The MOST important goal of restorative care is to:

  • Do everything for the resident to keep them comfortable
  • Help the resident maintain or regain the highest level of independence possible
  • Complete care tasks as quickly as possible
  • Keep the resident in bed to prevent falls

4. A bladder retraining program is designed to:

  • Keep the resident wearing incontinence briefs permanently
  • Help the resident regain control of urination by scheduling regular toileting times
  • Reduce the resident's fluid intake to prevent accidents
  • Insert a catheter to manage incontinence

5. A resident in a wheelchair can propel the chair independently using their arms. To promote independence, the CNA should:

  • Push the wheelchair for the resident at all times to prevent fatigue
  • Allow the resident to propel their own wheelchair and assist only when needed or requested
  • Remove the wheelchair and require the resident to use a bed at all times
  • Lock the wheelchair wheels so the resident cannot move it independently
