According to OBRA, nursing assistants must complete at least how many training hours before starting work?

• A. 24
• B. 100
• C. 120
• D. 12

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that OBRA sets a federal minimum for CNA training to ensure a basic level of competency before working in care settings. The federal standard is 75 hours of training, including supervised hands-on clinical experience (often about 16 hours of clinical practice). None of the listed options match this OBRA minimum. Some programs or states may require more hours, such as around 100 hours, but OBRA itself specifies 75 hours.
