Question 1 of 5
A nurse and an experienced licensed practical nurse (LPN) are caring for a group of clients. Which of the following tasks should the nurse delegate to the LPN? (Select all that apply)
Correct Answer: C,D,E
Rationale: The correct tasks to delegate to the LPN are C, D, and E. For choice C, administering a tap-water enema to a preoperative client falls within the LPN's scope of practice as it involves a routine procedure that does not require advanced assessment or critical thinking skills.
Choice D, cleaning vital signs from a client who is 6 hours postoperative, is a task that can be safely delegated to the LPN as it involves routine monitoring that does not require RN-level judgment.
Choice E, catheterizing a client who has not voided in 8 hours, is a task that the LPN can perform as it is a straightforward procedure that the LPN would have been trained to do.
Choices A and B involve more complex decision-making and education that are typically within the RN's scope of practice.
