During the five skills assessment, how many tasks will involve measurement?

• A. Zero
• B. One
• C. Three
• D. All five

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is recognizing which CNA tasks require using a measuring device to obtain numerical data versus those that are purely procedural. A measurement task means you’ll use a tool (like a thermometer, sphygmomanometer, or scale) to get a numeric reading and then record it. In the five skills assessment, only a single task requires that kind of data collection. The other four tasks are care actions that don’t generate a numeric measurement. So you should expect one task to involve measurement, and when you encounter it, focus on proper technique, correct device use, and accurate recording of the result.
