Which statement accurately describes measurement tasks within the five skills?

• A. None of the five skills involve measurement
• B. Exactly one of the five skills involves measurement
• C. Two of the five skills involve measurement
• D. All five skills involve measurement

Answer: (B)

Understanding how measurement fits into the five CNA skill tasks is key. Measurement tasks are about obtaining and recording objective data—things like weight, height, temperature, pulse, respiration, or blood pressure. Among the five skills used in the evaluation, only one requires performing this kind of data collection, while the others focus on safe, effective care techniques that don’t involve measuring numbers. That’s why the correct statement is that exactly one of the five skills involves measurement. Saying none would ignore the data collection aspect that does appear in at least one skill, and saying two or all five would overstate how often measurement is required across the tasks. When you hit a station that involves measurement, focus on accurate technique and proper documentation.
