The nurse is caring for a 69 year-old client with a diagnosis of hyperglycemia. Which tasks could the nurse delegate to the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The UAP can do standard, unchanging procedures. Testing blood sugar with an Accu-Check is a routine task that does not require clinical judgment, making it appropriate for delegation to a UAP.
