NCLEX RN Practice Question

Delegation must align with the team member’s training and scope of practice. Licensed practical/vocational nurses are equipped to perform tasks such as administering oral medications and providing routine treatments, which the nurse is ultimately responsible for overseeing. Tasks involving patient assessment or education require the nurse’s clinical judgment and are beyond the scope of the LPN/VN. The option involving monitoring saturation levels regularly may seem reasonable, but monitoring in this way typically aligns with the duties of an assistive personnel under indirect supervision, not the LPN/VN.
