When the nurse is giving direction to a nursing assistant who is being delegated part of the patient care, the nurse's most effective direction would be:

A Take the vital signs on all the patients in the lounge and tell me whether there are problems.' C Give the patient in 204A a shower after breakfast, and call me to check her feet before you get her dressed.' D You take care of all the patients in 205 and 206. Let me know how you're doing and whether you need any help.' B Do the morning care first on the patients in 205 and 206 who can't get out of bed.'
