Question 1 of 5
A nurse working on a medical-surgical unit is making client assignments for an upcoming shift. Which of the following tasks should the nurse assign to an assistive personnel?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Assisting with ambulation for a client who has a pulmonary infection. This task can be safely delegated to assistive personnel because it does not involve any invasive procedures or assessments that require specialized nursing knowledge. Ambulation helps prevent complications like pneumonia in clients with pulmonary infections and can be safely supervised by assistive personnel.
Other choices are incorrect:
B: Inserting a glycerin suppository requires assessing the client's condition, understanding contraindications, and monitoring for side effects. It involves a level of knowledge and skill beyond what assistive personnel possess.
C: Irrigating a client's infected surgical wound involves assessing wound status, recognizing signs of infection, and performing a sterile procedure. This task requires nursing knowledge and skill.
D: Showing a client how to use an incentive spirometer requires teaching about proper technique, monitoring the client's response, and assessing the client's understanding. This task involves nursing assessment and education, beyond the scope of assistive personnel.
