1 of 5
A nurse is delegating client care tasks to assistive personnel. Which of the following tasks should the nurse delegate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Performing a simple dressing change is within the scope of assistive personnel, freeing the nurse for more complex tasks. Changing IV tubing, inserting an NG tube, evaluating healing, and administering medications require a licensed nurse’s expertise.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is delegating client care tasks to assistive personnel. Which of the following tasks should the nurse delegate?

Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer medication to a client. Which of the following should the nurse use as a client identifier?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A photograph is a reliable client identifier, ensuring medication is administered to the correct person. Room numbers, bed numbers, age, and insurance cards are not specific enough and can lead to errors.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is caring for an infant who is to undergo surgery. The nurse should identify which of the following individuals should sign the consent form?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The infant’s 17-year-old mother, as the parent, is legally authorized to sign the consent form for her child’s surgery, unless her parental rights have been terminated. The sibling, grandparent, provider, and daycare provider lack legal authority unless designated as guardians.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a female client who has an indwelling urinary catheter. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Keeping the drainage bag below the level of the bladder prevents urine backflow, reducing infection risk. Taping the catheter to the abdomen is incorrect (it should be secured to the thigh), attaching the bag to bed rails risks elevating it above the bladder, and the bag should be emptied regularly, not just when three-quarters full, to prevent backflow. Cleaning with alcohol is incorrect; soap and water are used to avoid irritation.
