A nurse is planning assignments for the upcoming shift. Which of the following tasks should the nurse delegate to an assistive personnel? (Select all that apply.)
Correct answer
A,B,E
Rationale
The correct tasks to delegate to an assistive personnel are A, B, and E. A, transferring a client to physical therapy, is appropriate as it does not require specialized nursing skills. B, obtaining vital signs every 4 hours, is a routine task that can be safely delegated. E, recording a client's intake after each meal, is a basic task that does not require nursing judgment. Tasks C and D involve client education and invasive procedures, respectively, which should be performed by licensed nurses. So, the tasks C and D are not appropriate for delegation to assistive personnel.
