Question 1 of 5
A client who had coronary artery bypass grafting yesterday needs care. What actions can the nurse delegate to the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)? (SATA)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because ensuring the client wears TED hose or sequential compression devices is within the scope of practice for UAP. This task does not require critical thinking or assessment skills, making it suitable for delegation. Administering antibiotics (A) and encouraging spirometer use (B) require clinical judgment and assessment skills, which UAP do not possess. Having the client rate pain and report to the nurse (D) involves subjective assessment and potential interventions, making it inappropriate for delegation to UAP.
