NCLEX Question of the Day
Review the question, check the correct answer, and read the rationale before tomorrow's prompt arrives.
A nurse is delegating tasks to a nursing assistant. Which instruction is most appropriate for the nursing assistant?
-
Please administer the oral medications to room 204.
-
Please assess the vital signs of the client in room 202 who is complaining of chest pain.
-
Correct answer Please assist the client in room 203 with their bath and getting dressed.
-
Please start an IV line on the client in room 201 who is scheduled for surgery.
Rationale
Nursing assistants can be delegated tasks that are within their scope of practice, such as assisting clients with activities of daily living (ADLs) like bathing and dressing. Administering medications, assessing vital signs in a potentially unstable client, and starting IV lines are all tasks that require the education and skill set of a licensed nurse.
