Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse is delegating care for a group of clients. Which of the following tasks should the charge nurse assign to a licensed practical nurse?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Perform a sterile dressing change for a client who has an abdominal wound. A licensed practical nurse (LPN) is trained and competent in performing sterile dressing changes, which is within their scope of practice. LPNs are skilled in wound care and can safely complete this task without direct supervision. This task does not require critical thinking or complex assessment skills beyond the LPN's training.
Choice B is incorrect as performing an admission assessment requires a registered nurse's assessment skills and critical thinking abilities.
Choice C is also incorrect as discharge teaching for a new diagnosis of diabetes requires in-depth knowledge and assessment skills typically provided by a registered nurse or advanced practice nurse.
Choice D is incorrect as completing the Glasgow Coma Scale for a client with an evolving stroke involves critical assessment skills and monitoring, which is beyond the LPN's scope of practice.
