A registered nurse (RN) is delegating a task to a UAP. Which task would be most appropriate to assign to the UAP?
Assisting a patient with bathing and grooming
Evaluating a patient's pain level and documenting findings
Providing instructions to a patient about their medication regimen
Monitoring vital signs for a patient after surgery
The correct answer is assisting a patient with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing and grooming. These tasks fall within the scope of practice for UAPs, who are trained to perform non-complex, routine tasks. Monitoring vital signs for a post-surgical patient requires close observation and clinical judgment due to the potential for rapid changes in condition, which makes it inappropriate for a UAP. Similarly, tasks such as providing patient education or assessing a patient’s pain level involve critical thinking, nursing knowledge, and decision-making, all of which are responsibilities of the RN.
