Question 1 of 5
A nurse on a medical-surgical unit is delegating client care. Which of the following tasks should the nurse delegate to an assistive personnel?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Using a pain rating scale to monitor a client's pain level. This task can be safely delegated to an assistive personnel as it involves non-invasive monitoring that does not require specialized nursing skills. Assistive personnel can be trained to use pain rating scales accurately.
Explanation for other choices:
A: Instructing a client on self-administration of a tap water enema involves teaching a procedure and assessing understanding, which is within the scope of a nurse's responsibility.
B: Suctioning a client's long-term tracheostomy requires specialized skills and knowledge to prevent complications, making it inappropriate for delegation.
C: Performing a dressing change on a client's peripherally inserted central catheter involves sterile technique and assessment of the catheter site, which should be done by a nurse.
