CHHA & CNA Quiz

This quiz is designed for N.J licensed CNAs & CHHAs. The quiz focuses on the responsibilities, best practices and the limitations the licensed Caregivers have when assisting our clients. The NJ Board of Nursing recently allowed Registered Nurses to delegate tasks to the CNA or CHHA which were previously Nursing Skills. One example is that now a CHHA or CNA can assist a client in using their Oxygen if the Nurse trains and delegates this task. For this quiz, please assume the Registered Nurse has NOT delegated any tasks or responsibilities to the licensed CNA or CHHA. As a front-line health care worker, we will entrust you with our client’s health. We request that you complete this quiz independently, without any outside resources. Your quiz score may not dictate if we hire you or which cases you are assigned. It can highlight areas we can help clarify prior to providing you employment. We will discuss your quiz answers when we meet to interview in person.
