Extract:

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is delegating care for a group of clients. Which of the following clients should the nurse assign to the LPN?

A. A client who is scheduled for an endoscopy later today and requires an enema B. A newly admitted client who has sickle cell anemia and requires the development of an initial plan of care C. A client who had a myocardial infarction and will be transferring to the unit from the CCU D. A newly admitted client who has diabetes mellitus and requires initial teaching on self-administration of insulin

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The LPN can safely administer an enema under the delegation of a registered nurse. Enemas are within the scope of practice for LPNs. The other options involve higher-level nursing responsibilities that should be handled by an RN. Option B requires the development of a plan of care, which involves critical thinking and assessment skills beyond the LPN's scope. Option C involves a client transferring from a critical care unit, requiring close monitoring and specialized care. Option D involves teaching on insulin administration, which requires understanding of pharmacology and monitoring for complications, beyond the LPN's scope.
Therefore, option A is the most appropriate task for delegation to the LPN in this scenario.
