Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse is making shift assignments on a medical-surgical unit. Which of the following tasks should the nurse assign to the AP?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Performing nasal hygiene for a client with an NG tube is within the scope of practice for an unlicensed assistive personnel (AP) as it involves basic hygiene and does not require specialized nursing skills. Nasal hygiene for an NG tube helps prevent infection and maintain tube patency. The other tasks involve more complex skills such as assessing oxygen saturation (
A), managing an ostomy bag (
C), and administering medications rectally (
D), which require nursing judgment and assessment. Assigning these tasks to an AP could pose risks to patient safety due to the need for critical thinking and clinical knowledge.
