ATI NU2508 Leadership Final Exam | Nurselytic

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because a client who is 3 days postoperative following gastric bypass surgery is stable and unlikely to have immediate complications. Vital signs can be safely delegated to an assistive personnel (AP) for this client.


Choice A is incorrect because a client who is 3 days postoperative following a craniotomy may still be at risk for neurological complications that require close monitoring by a nurse.


Choice C is incorrect because a client who is only 2 hours postoperative following an abdominal hysterectomy is still in the immediate postoperative period and requires frequent monitoring by a nurse.


Choice D is incorrect because a client who is only 1 hour postoperative following a thyroidectomy is in the immediate postoperative period and may have potential complications that require close monitoring by a nurse.

Overall, the key factor in delegating obtaining vital signs to an AP is the stability of the client's condition postoperatively.
