  • Based on the official CNA exam guidelines
  • Updated for June 2026
  • Perfect for nursing students and professionals preparing for the CNA exam
  • Triple-checked for accuracy by nursing experts
One of the most satisfying parts of being a CNA is the ability to assist and provide hands-on care for your clients, patients, or residents. Helping them stay as independent as possible, yet supporting them at every stage of their condition, can be rewarding. Personal care involves all aspects of physical and emotional support. It is different for each person and can change from day to day. Often it includes the family, who can be concerned about their loved one. Many CNAs say that personal care is the favorite part of their job. The written CNA examination will have many questions about giving Personal Care. Each state has a different distribution of questions, but personal care can be as much as 25% of the written exam. During the clinical skills portion of your exam, you will be asked to demonstrate how to give personal care, such as caring for dentures and feeding a resident.

Personal Care is an important part of your CNA examination, so find the time to take the Personal Care and Basic Skills practice tests more than once.

The topics covered in this Personal Care practice test include the following:

  • Skin care and avoiding pressure sores
  • Turning and positioning residents
  • Caring for dentures
  • Preventing contractures
  • Assisting vision- and hearing-impaired patients
  • Scenarios about feeding residents
Each question has four possible answers. After you read the question, try to eliminate one or two answers. If you need help, click on the Hint button under the fourth answer, to receive a sentence that will remind you of the best answer. Take notes or write down the questions you missed. You can pause the practice test at any time. When you return to the test, it will take you to where you stopped. You can restart the test at any time. Good luck!
