A nurse is planning to delegate tasks to a licensed practical nurse (LPN). Which of the following entities is important for the nurse to understand when delegating tasks to the LPN?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: The state Nurse Practice Act. The Nurse Practice Act outlines the scope of practice and legal responsibilities for nurses in each state. When delegating tasks to an LPN, the nurse must adhere to the regulations and guidelines set forth in the Nurse Practice Act to ensure safe and appropriate delegation. Understanding this act is crucial to prevent legal and ethical violations.

C: The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 - This act relates to healthcare financing and does not specifically address the delegation of tasks to LPNs.
D: The National Association for Practical Nurse Education and Services - This organization focuses on education and services for LPNs but does not dictate legal guidelines for delegation.
