1. A nurse is planning care for a group of clients. Which of the
following tasks should the nurse delegate to an assistive personnel
(AP)?
A. Feeding a client who was admitted 24 hours ago with aspiration
pneumonia
B. Reinforcing teaching with a client who is learning to walk using a
quad cane
C. Reapplying a condom catheter for a client who has urinary
incontinence
D. Applying a sterile dressing to a pressure ulcer
CORRECT ANSWER: C
Rationale: The application of a condom catheter is a noninvasive,
routine procedure that the nurse may delegate to the AP. Tasks that
,require nursing judgment, assessment, or sterile technique (feeding a
client with aspiration pneumonia, reinforcing teaching, applying
sterile dressings) should not be delegated to AP. The RN remains
responsible for supervision and evaluation of delegated tasks.
2. A nurse manager on a medical-surgical unit is assigning care
responsibilities for the oncoming shift. A client is awaiting transfer
back to the unit from the PACU following thoracic surgery. To
which staff member should the nurse assign this client?
A. Charge nurse
B. RN
C. LPN
D. AP
CORRECT ANSWER: B
Rationale: A client returning from surgery requires assessment and
establishment of a plan of care. RNs are responsible for this,
especially if the client is potentially unstable. This assignment cannot
be delegated to LPNs or AP because it involves complex assessment
and nursing judgment.
,3. An RN is making assignments for client care to an LPN at the
beginning of the shift. Which of the following assignments should
the LPN question?
A. Assisting a client who is 24 hours postop to use an incentive
spirometer
B. Collecting a clean-catch urine specimen from a client who was
admitted on the previous shift
C. Providing nasopharyngeal suctioning for a client who has
pneumonia
D. Replacing the cartridge and tubing on a PCA pump
CORRECT ANSWER: D
Rationale: The RN is responsible for the PCA pump. Tasks
involving complex medication administration and pump
programming should not be delegated to LPNs. LPNs can assist with
incentive spirometry, collect specimens, and perform suctioning
within their scope of practice.
4. A nurse is preparing to transfer a client who is partially weight
bearing from the bed to the chair. Which of the following actions
should the nurse take?
A. Keep his knees straight when moving the client
, B. Position the chair next to the bed at a 90-degree angle
C. Stand with his feet together when lifting the client
D. Have the client bear weight on her stronger leg
CORRECT ANSWER: D
Rationale: Utilizing the stronger leg provides a stable base of
support, which is essential for clients who are only partially weight-
bearing. The nurse should use proper body mechanics, including
keeping feet shoulder-width apart and bending at the knees, not
keeping knees straight or standing with feet together.
5. A nurse is admitting a client who is malnourished. The client
states, "My wedding ring is loose and I'm worried I will lose it if it
falls off." Which of the following is an appropriate response by the
nurse?
A. "I will place it in your drawer so it won't get lost."
B. "I can pin it to your hospital gown so you won't lose it."
C. "I will hold onto it until a family member can take it home."
D. "I can put it in a locked storage unit for you."
CORRECT ANSWER: D
