Nurse aide exams and care notes
Nurse aide exam questions: catch the word that changes the answer
Many missed CNA questions are missed by people who know the care. One word in the question or the note — states, only after, NOT — decides what is being asked. LexyRead trains you to find that word yourself.

The deciding wordsResident states her leg hurts when she stands.
Easy to read asThe resident’s leg is injured.
What it actually saysThe resident said it. It is what she reported, not something you observed or measured.
Without “states”, the line would read as something observed.

The deciding wordsResident may walk to the dining room with her walker only after the nurse rechecks her blood pressure.
Easy to read asShe may walk to the dining room with her walker.
What it actually saysShe may walk there once the nurse has rechecked her blood pressure — not before.
Without “only after the nurse rechecks her blood pressure”, nothing would hold her back.

Without “NOT”, the right answer would be a different option.
