Question 1

To whom should you delegate a task?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Delegation follows the Five Rights: the "right person" is someone competent and authorized to perform the task. Trust or working together regularly are not criteria for safe delegation.

Question 2

The nurse has just received a report on a group of patients and plans to delegate care of several of the patients to an LPN (licensed practical nurse). The first thing the RN should do before delegating care is?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Before delegating, the RN must assess the competency of the delegatee to ensure the right task is assigned to the right person. Asking about the LPN’s prior experience with similar patients verifies capability and safety before assigning tasks.

Question 3

A newly admitted elderly client is severely dehydrated. When planning care for this client, which one of the following is an appropriate task for an Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAP) member?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: UAPs can measure intake and output and report abnormal findings. Obtaining a history, monitoring response to IV fluids, and assessing skin turgor are assessment and evaluation tasks requiring RN judgment.

Question 4

The registered nurse is planning the client assignments for the day. Which assignment is most appropriate for the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: UAPs may perform noninvasive, routine tasks such as ambulation assistance or hygiene under supervision. Parenteral nutrition, client teaching, and pre-procedure care require nursing judgment and must be completed by licensed nurses.

Question 5

The RN is making assignments for the day. Which one of the following duties can be assigned to the unlicensed assistive personnel?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: UAPs can perform noninvasive, routine hygiene tasks such as catheter care. They cannot administer medications, set IV rates, or communicate clinical findings to the provider.

Question 6

The RN is planning client assignments. Which is the least appropriate task for the nursing assistant?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Assessment of a client with respiratory complaints requires RN judgment; UAPs do not perform assessments. Assisting with mobility, feeding after RN assessment of swallowing, and escorting a discharged client are appropriate UAP tasks.

Question 7

The nurse is caring for a client with ulcerative colitis who is experiencing frequent diarrhea. Which task is most appropriate for the nurse to delegate to an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Delegation to UAP includes routine, noninvasive tasks that do not require clinical judgment. Providing perineal skin care is a standard hygiene measure that can be safely performed by UAP. Assessment (bowel sounds), evaluation (medication response), and clinical interpretation or decision-making (intake/output analysis, dietary changes) require RN-level judgment and cannot be delegated.

Question 8

Which of the following tasks can a nurse safely delegate to a nursing assistant (NA) on a busy medical-surgical unit?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Assisting with ambulation is an ADL and within the scope of practice for nursing assistants. Administering medications and performing sterile dressing changes require a licensed nurse.

Question 9

Which client assignment is appropriate for the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: UAPs can perform routine, noninvasive tasks such as collecting stool specimens. Colostomy irrigation, managing continuous tube feedings, and caring for clients with dysphagia require nursing assessment and skill due to higher risk.

Question 10

The nurse receives a report on an older adult client with middle stage dementia. What information suggests the nurse should do immediate follow up rather than delegate care to the nursing assistant? The client?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Minimal responsiveness indicates an acute change in level of consciousness, suggesting possible delirium and requiring immediate RN assessment rather than delegation. The other findings are typical behaviors in middle-stage dementia and are not urgent.

Question 11

Which one of the following tasks, if delegated by the new charge nurse to a nursing assistant, would require intervention by the nurse manager?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Clients with internal radiation (radon or radioactive implants) require specific precautions and should only be cared for by trained personnel. Delegating this task to an unlicensed assistant endangers both staff and client.

Question 12

Which task should be assigned to the nursing assistant?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: UAPs can perform routine, non-assessment tasks such as emptying a Foley and reporting output. Seclusion requires licensed nurse oversight, feeding a client with dementia may require assessment of swallowing/behavior, and ambulating a client with a fractured hip is unsafe and requires nurse supervision.

Question 13

The nurse is assigning staff to care for a number of clients with emotional disorders. Which facet of care is suitable to the skills of the nursing assistant?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Assisting with activities of daily living is within the UAP/nursing assistant scope. Clients undergoing ECT or in seclusion require licensed staff monitoring, and a newly admitted alcohol-withdrawal client is unstable and needs RN assessment; thus those tasks are inappropriate to delegate to a nursing assistant.

Question 14

The nurse is assigned to care for the client with a Steinmann pin. During pin care, she notes that the LPN uses sterile gloves and Q-tips to clean the pin. Which action should the nurse take at this time?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Pin-site care requires sterile technique to prevent infection, and it is within the LPN scope with RN supervision. Since the LPN is using sterile gloves and sterile applicators appropriately, the RN should support and assist, not change the method or reassign the task.

Question 15

Which assignment should NOT be performed by the nursing assistant?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Administering enemas is an invasive procedure requiring nursing assessment and skill; it is not delegated to unlicensed assistive personnel. Feeding, bathing, and collecting stool specimens are within their scope.

Question 16

The primary cardiac nurse is delegating tasks to the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). Which delegation task warrants intervention by the charge nurse of the cardiac unit?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Feeding a dysphagic client has a high aspiration risk and requires RN assessment and supervision or specialized training. Bathing a telemetry client, obtaining glucometer readings, and assisting with a portable chest x-ray are appropriate UAP tasks per facility policy.

Question 17

The charge nurse is making assignments for a 30-bed cardiac unit staffed with three registered nurses (RNs), three licensed practical nurses (LPNs), and three unlicensed assistive personnel (UAPs). Which assignment is most appropriate by the charge nurse?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: AM care (hygiene, bathing, grooming) falls within the UAP’s scope. Sterile procedures and care plans require an RN, and LPNs typically cannot give IV push meds or write plans.

Question 18

The nurse assesses erratic electrical activity on the telemetry reading while the client is talking to the nurse on the intercom system. Which task should the nurse instruct the UAP to implement?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: If the patient is talking normally, the rhythm disturbance is likely artifact. A UAP can appropriately check lead placement.

Question 19

The nurse is assigning staff for the day. Which client should be assigned to the nursing assistant?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: UAPs are assigned stable clients needing routine care. A day-2 post-appendectomy child is stable and needs ADLs/ambulation. Bronchiolitis and periorbital cellulitis require nursing assessment and monitoring; a fractured tibia may need neurovascular checks.

Question 20

The nurse is making assignments for the day. The staff consists of an RN, an LPN, and a nursing assistant. Which client could the nursing assistant care for?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: UAPs care for stable clients with predictable needs and basic ADLs. Clients with pneumonia, appendicitis, or thrombophlebitis require assessment and monitoring by licensed staff. A stable client with Alzheimer's needing routine care is appropriate for the nursing assistant.

Question 21

A confused client has been placed in physical restraints by order of the physician. Which one of the following tasks could be assigned to an unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAP)?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: UAPs can perform non-assessment tasks that meet basic needs, such as assisting with ADLs. Evaluating safety, assessing comfort needs, and documenting mental status involve assessment/clinical judgment and must be done by a licensed nurse.

Question 22

You are providing care for a comatose diabetic on IV insulin therapy. Which task would be most appropriate to delegate to a certified nursing assistant?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Fingerstick blood glucose checks are within CNA scope with proper training. Assessment of consciousness, titrating IV insulin, and client/family teaching require the nurse.

Question 23

Which of the following activities can the registered nurse ask a Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAP) to perform?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: UAPs can perform routine, non-judgment tasks like obtaining vital signs on stable clients. The other options involve assessment or medication management, which require RN judgment.

Question 24

An unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP), who usually works on a surgical unit is assigned to float to a pediatric unit. Which one of these questions by the charge nurse would be most appropriate when making delegation decisions?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Delegation requires verifying the UAP’s competency for assigned tasks. Reviewing the competency checklist objectively confirms skills, whereas experience length, prior unit tasks, or comfort are insufficient.

Question 25

The charge nurse is planning assignments on a medical unit. Which one of the following clients could be assigned to the certified nursing assistant?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: CNA duties include routine, noninvasive tasks with predictable outcomes; administering/enforcing enemas before a colonoscopy fits this. The other options involve assessment, sterile procedures, or discharge planning, which require licensed nurses.

Question 26

The nursing student is discussing with a preceptor the delegation of tasks to an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). Which one of the following tasks, delegated to a UAP, indicates the student needs further teaching about the delegation process?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Education, assessment, and evaluation require RN judgment and cannot be delegated to UAP. Assisting with ambulation, feeding a stable patient, and collecting non-sterile specimens like sputum are within UAP scope.

Question 27

The nurse is caring for a 69 year-old client with a diagnosis of hyperglycemia. Which one of the following tasks could the nurse delegate to the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Blood glucose testing is a stable, predictable task appropriate for UAPs. Teaching, assessment, and evaluation require RN-level judgment and cannot be delegated.

Question 28

Which one of the following statements by the nurse is appropriate when asking an Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAP) to assist a 69 year-old surgical client to ambulate for the first time?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Asking the UAP to dangle the client before standing is a clear, safe, task-level instruction appropriate for delegation. The nurse cannot delegate assessment (dizziness, how he feels) or clinical decisions.

Question 29

A nursing assistant reports to the RN that a patient with anemia is complaining of weakness. Which of the following responses by the nurse to the nursing assistant is BEST?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Assessment and teaching tasks (listening to breath sounds, obtaining a diet history, instructing on activity) are outside the nursing assistant’s scope. Setting up the lunch tray is an appropriate UAP task and supports nutrition for a patient with anemia.

Question 30

You are the RN of a health care team that consists of one licensed practical/vocational nurse, one nursing assistant, a nursing student, and yourself. To whom is it appropriate to assign complete care for a new admission?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: A new admission requires initial assessment and clinical judgment, which cannot be delegated to an LPN/LVN, UAP, or student; the RN must provide the complete care initially.

Question 31

You are the of a health care team that consists of one licensed practical/vocational nurse, one nursing assistant, a nursing student and yourself. To whom is it appropriate to assign complete care for?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Complete care for a new or unspecified client requires full assessment, judgment, and planning—tasks that cannot be delegated to LPNs, UAPs, or students. The RN must assume responsibility for full client care.

Question 32

Which action demonstrates appropriate use of the Five Rights of Delegation?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Ambulation of a stable postoperative patient is predictable, routine, and within the training of a UAP. Assessment, teaching, and sterile wound care require licensed nursing judgment and cannot be delegated.

Question 33

A registered nurse is planning care for a group of clients on a medical-surgical unit. Which task is MOST appropriate to delegate to an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Ambulation of a stable patient is predictable, routine, and within UAP skill level. Assessment, teaching, and evaluation require nursing judgment and cannot be delegated.

Question 34

A nurse is caring for a group of clients on a medical-surgical unit. Which of the following tasks is MOST appropriate to delegate to an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Collecting a routine urine specimen is predictable, non-invasive, and does not require nursing judgment, making it appropriate for delegation to UAPs. Tasks involving assessment, teaching, clinical evaluation, or adjusting treatments (such as titrating oxygen) cannot be delegated.

Question 35

A nurse is working on a busy medical-surgical unit and needs to delegate tasks to a nursing assistant (NA). Which of the following tasks can the nurse safely delegate to the NA?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Ambulating a stable patient is a predictable, routine intervention that does not require nursing judgment, making it appropriate for delegation to NAs. Sterile procedures, medication administration, assessments, and evaluation tasks cannot be delegated.

Question 36

The RN is delegating tasks for the patient care technician (PCT) at the beginning of the shift. What task should NOT be delegated to the PCT?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: PCTs/UAPs may perform routine, non-sterile, non-assessment tasks such as bathing and ambulating with appropriate safety equipment, and they may often measure/record drainage from devices like a Jackson-Pratt if facility policy allows. Applying a prescribed corticosteroid cream is medication administration, which requires nursing judgment (right medication, site/skin assessment, contraindications, response monitoring) and is not delegated to a PCT. Therefore administering triamcinolone cream is the task that should not be delegated.

Question 37

A nurse on a pediatric unit is working with an assistive personnel. Which of the following tasks should the nurse have the AP perform first?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Assistive personnel may safely perform feeding for a stable client, and this child is unable to feed independently due to upper-extremity burns. Nutrition is a time-sensitive basic need. Postoperative ambulation requires nursing assessment, specimen collection involves infection-control judgment, and bathing can be delayed.

Question 38

A new nurse is delegating a task to a nursing assistant. Which task is appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Tasks delegated to a nursing assistant must be routine, have predictable outcomes, and not require nursing assessment, teaching, or clinical judgment. Teaching insulin injection and interpreting lab values require RN-level knowledge and judgment, and assessing postoperative pain is an RN assessment function. Ambulating a stable postoperative patient is an appropriate assistive personnel task when the nurse has assessed stability and provides needed instructions and supervision.

Question 39

The nurse begins an IV antibiotic and delegates a task to the nursing assistant. This action describes which part of the nursing process?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Implementation is the phase in which the nurse carries out planned interventions, including administering medications and delegating appropriate tasks to assistive personnel. Assessment, diagnosis, planning, and evaluation occur before or after this action, not during task execution.

Question 40

The nurse is delegating care to unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). Which task is appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: UAP may perform routine, noninvasive tasks with predictable outcomes such as ambulating stable postoperative clients per the plan of care. Assessment (lung sounds), IV therapy, and sterile dressing changes require nursing judgment and/or sterile technique and are not appropriate for UAP delegation.

Question 41

A nurse assign task to unlicensed assistive personnel. Which task is appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Measuring capillary blood glucose is a standard, noninvasive task that may be delegated to UAP when the client is stable and the nurse provides appropriate supervision and follow-up. Administering insulin is medication administration and requires nursing judgment and is not delegated to UAP. Assessing pain is an assessment requiring RN clinical judgment, and teaching about diet is patient education that must be performed by licensed nursing staff.

Question 42

When delegating task, nurse should?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Safe delegation requires verifying the task is appropriate for the delegatee’s role, competence, and permitted scope, and that the client’s condition is stable. Delegation decisions are not based only on workload; they must prioritize client safety. The nurse retains accountability and must provide direction and follow-up, and assessment tasks requiring nursing judgment are not delegated to UAP.

Question 43

A nurse assign task to unlicensed assistive personnel. Which task is appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Measuring capillary blood glucose is a routine, noninvasive task that can be delegated to UAP when the client is stable and the nurse provides appropriate supervision. Administering IV medications, performing assessments, and teaching require nursing judgment and must be completed by licensed nursing staff.

Question 44

When delegating task, nurse should?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Safe delegation requires confirming that the task is within the delegatee’s legal scope and competence, and that the nurse provides appropriate direction and follow-up. The nurse remains accountable for the outcome of delegated care.

Question 45

Which task is appropriate for the nurse to delegate to a licensed practical nurse (LPN)?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason:  Monitoring a client 2 hours after receiving an oral pain med LPNs can perform focused, routine monitoring and report findings to the RN, especially when the patient is stable and the intervention is expected (e.g., reassessing response to an oral analgesic after time has passed). Teaching about an insulin pump requires RN-level patient education and evaluation of learning. IV push opioid administration is typically restricted to RNs in many settings, and new-onset chest pain requires immediate RN assessment and clinical judgment.

Question 46

Which tasks can the RN safely delegate to an experienced UAP?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Obtain a clean-catch urine specimen Obtaining a clean-catch urine specimen is a routine, noninvasive task with predictable outcomes that can be delegated to an experienced UAP, with the RN providing instructions and ensuring proper labeling/transport. Teaching (incentive spirometer use, initial ostomy self-care) requires RN-level assessment and education and is not appropriate for UAP delegation. Monitoring for bleeding after initiating a heparin infusion requires ongoing assessment and clinical judgment, which must be performed by a licensed nurse.

Question 47

Which task can the RN delegate to the LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse)?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Monitoring a stable post-op patient and reporting abnormal findings. LPNs can provide routine, predictable care to stable clients, including monitoring and collecting data and then reporting changes to the RN. Initial assessment of a newly admitted patient requires RN-level assessment and clinical judgment. Teaching (initial education) is an RN responsibility, and IV push opioids are typically RN-only due to the higher risk and need for advanced assessment and monitoring.

Question 48

The nurse is caring for a patient who has been admitted to the hospital with a leg ulcer that is infected with vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Which nursing action can be assigned to an LPN/LVN?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: LPN/LVN scope commonly includes performing sterile procedures and collecting specimens such as wound cultures during routine dressing changes when a plan of care is established. The RN must perform initial and ongoing comprehensive assessments (e.g., risk for skin breakdown) and develop care plans, which cannot be delegated. Patient teaching about home care requires RN-level teaching and evaluation of learning, making it inappropriate for delegation to the LPN/LVN in this context. Planning nutritional interventions is part of care planning and requires RN judgment.

Question 49

A charge nurse on a busy medical-surgical unit needs to delegate tasks to the nursing staff. Which task is appropriate for the charge nurse to delegate to a licensed practical nurse (LPN)?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: LPNs can perform focused assessments on stable clients and administer medications per provider order, consistent with their scope and facility policy. Initiating IV therapy may be restricted to RNs depending on jurisdiction/facility policy and is often considered a higher-skill intervention. Developing the initial nursing care plan and providing comprehensive patient education require RN-level assessment, planning, and teaching responsibilities.

Question 50

Which of the following should the RN not delegate to an LPN?

Accepted Answer

Answer reason: Blood transfusion Blood transfusions require RN-level assessment and clinical judgment due to the risk for acute transfusion reactions and the need for rapid recognition and intervention (e.g., stopping the transfusion, maintaining IV access with normal saline, notifying the provider/blood bank). Initiation of blood products and ongoing evaluation of patient response are typically not appropriate for delegation to an LPN. By contrast, tracheostomy care and routine wound dressing changes are commonly within LPN scope for stable patients (per facility policy), and NG tube insertion may be LPN-permitted in some settings but is less universally restricted than starting blood.
