The nurse and an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) are caring for clients on a medical floor. Which nursing task is most appropriate for the nurse to delegate?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Collecting a clean voided midstream urine specimen is a task within the UAPÔÇÖs scope, as it involves following a standard procedure. Evaluating intake/output, checking blood, or administering enemas require nursing judgment or specialized training, making them inappropriate for delegation.
