14. Have you ever had to perform First Aid or CPR on a patient? Are you currently certified in First Aid or CPR?
How to Answer
Most home health aide positions require First Aid and CPR certifications. Tell the interviewer about any time you have had to perform First Aid or CPR on a patient. Also, let the interviewer know if you have valid certifications or if these need to be renewed. Once you have these certifications, it is important to stay on top of renewing your certificates, so they do not expire.

"I am currently certified in First Aid and CPR and these certifications are valid for another 2 years. Fortunately, I have never had to perform CPR on a patient, but I have performed First Aid on multiple clients due to falls, cuts, and other minor injuries."
