A nurse is caring for a client who is undergoing electroconvulsive therapy. Which of the following tasks should the nurse delegate to an assistive personnel?

The correct answer is B: Assist the client to ambulate for the first time following the procedure. This task can be safely delegated to assistive personnel as it involves basic physical assistance and monitoring the client's mobility post-procedure. The nurse should be present initially to assess the client's condition and ensure safety but can delegate the actual task of ambulation. Checking the client's condition after the procedure (A) requires nursing assessment skills. Witnessing the client's signature on the consent form (C) requires legal responsibility that should be done by a licensed nurse. Giving atropine 30 min before the procedure (D) involves medication administration, which is a nursing responsibility.
