A CNA is caring for a patient on hospice care. She notices the patient's lips, hands and feet are blue and mottled. There is no rise and fall of the patient's chest. What should the CNA's next action be?

The CNA Nursing Assistant certification exam is in two parts, a written part and a skills part. The written part is in multiple choice format. CNAs are expected to know these subjects: CNA Roles, Observation, Reporting and Abbreviations, Safety and Managing Behavior, Emergencies, Personal Care Skills, Infection Control and Blood Borne Pathogens, Caring for All Ages, Common Physical and Emotional Problems, Care of the Dying Person at the End of Life and Legal and Ethical Issues.
