A nurse is planning to assign tasks for a group of clients. Which of the following tasks should the nurse plan to assign to an assistive personnel (AP)? (Select all that apply.)

The correct tasks to assign to an assistive personnel (AP) are A and D. APs are trained to assist with basic care activities. Ambulating an older adult client with hypertension and weighing a client with heart failure are within the scope of practice for APs as they do not involve complex assessments or critical decision-making. Providing discharge instructions (B) requires specialized knowledge and education, which is beyond the scope of an AP. Checking a blood product (C) and performing an admission assessment (E) require specific training and expertise that only licensed nurses should perform.
