Georgia CNA case studies

The Georgia Nurse Aide Certification Exam is the competency evaluation a candidate must pass to be listed as a certified nurse aide in Georgia. It is intended for people who have completed a state-approved nurse aide training program and for other candidates who qualify to test, such as nursing students and out-of-state aides seeking Georgia listing. The evaluation has two parts: a written knowledge test, offered in multiple-choice form with an oral alternative for candidates who qualify, and a hands-on skills demonstration in which the candidate performs selected nurse aide procedures while an evaluator observes. The knowledge test samples broadly across the job: personal care and activities of daily living, safety and emergency response, infection control, basic nursing skills, observation and reporting, communication and interpersonal skills, and resident rights, independence, and psychosocial needs. The Georgia CNA case studies are 5 cases and about 3,348 words.
