Which tasks should not be delegated to the unlicensed assistive personnel?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) can perform basic care tasks like bathing (A), perineal care (E), and assisting with feeding under supervision (B). Basic life support (D) may be within their scope if trained. However, administering parenteral medications (C) requires assessment and judgment, which is beyond UAP scope and reserved for licensed nurses.
