CNA Practice Test 2026: 60 Written Exam Questions With Answers

Audio from the Open Exam Hub video of the same name; the video shows the numbers and practice questions on screen.

CNA practice test: 60 original certified nursing assistant written exam questions with answers and explanations, following the NNAAP written exam content outline: activities of daily living (hygiene, dressing, nutrition and hydration, elimination, rest and comfort), basic nursing skills (infection control, safety and emergencies, positioning and procedures, vital signs and reporting), self-care and independence, psychosocial care (dementia, grief, spiritual and cultural needs), and the role of the nurse aide (communication, residents' rights, legal and ethical behavior, the health care team). As of October 2026: each state runs its own nurse aide program and chooses its test vendor (many use the NNAAP from Credentia; others use Prometric, Headmaster or a state exam), so check your state's candidate handbook. Federal rules (42 CFR 483.152 and 483.154) require approved training of at least 75 hours, including at least 16 hours of supervised practical training, and a competency evaluation with a written or oral exam plus a skills demonstration; you must pass both, and states must allow at least three attempts. Credentia says the NNAAP written exam has 70 multiple-choice questions (10 unscored pretest questions, so 60 scored) with two hours to finish, and the skills evaluation is five skills in 30 minutes, always including hand washing and one measurement skill. Our 48-of-60 target is a planning estimate, not an official passing score. Questions are original, not real exam questions. Not affiliated with Credentia, Prometric, any test vendor, or any state nurse aide registry.
