Question 1 of 5
A nurse on a medical-surgical unit is caring for a group of clients with the assistance of a licensed practicing nurse and assistive personnel. Which of the following tasks should the nurse assign to the LPN?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Reinforcing dietary teaching with a client who has heart disease. LPNs are trained to provide direct patient care, including patient education and reinforcing teaching provided by the registered nurse or healthcare provider. This task is within the LPN's scope of practice as it involves educating the client on a specific aspect of their care plan.
Choice A is incorrect because accompanying a client to physical therapy requires assessment, evaluation, and decision-making skills typically performed by a registered nurse.
Choice B involves a sterile procedure, which is usually performed by a registered nurse or a trained professional.
Choice C, postmortem care, is typically done by registered nurses.
In summary, assigning dietary teaching to the LPN is appropriate because it falls within their scope of practice, whereas the other choices involve tasks better suited for registered nurses or other healthcare professionals.
