Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning task assignments for the day. Which task should the nurse assign to the nursing assistant?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: When delegating tasks, a nurse must consider the staff member's education and competency level. Noninvasive tasks like helping a client ambulate with a walker are usually suitable for nursing assistants. Suctioning a client and colostomy irrigation are invasive procedures that require a licensed nurse's skills. Assessing a client post-arteriogram for any complications or changes in condition also necessitates the expertise of a licensed nurse.
Therefore, the most appropriate task to assign to a nursing assistant is assisting a client who needs frequent ambulation with a walker.
