SECTION 1: DELEGATION & SCOPE OF PRACTICE (Questions 1-40)
Question 1
A charge nurse is making assignments for a team consisting of an RN, LPN, and
AP.
Which client should the RN assign to the LPN?
A) A client with a new tracheostomy requiring frequent suctioning
B) A client with diabetes requiring insulin administration
C) A client with a stable post-operative wound requiring a dressing change
D) A newly admitted client with an unstable airway
1
,Answer: C
Rationale: LPNs can care for stable clients with predictable outcomes and perform
routine tasks such as wound care, medication administration (oral, IM,
subcutaneous),
and ostomy care. Unstable clients, new admissions, and complex assessments
require
RN-level care [citation:1].
Question 2
Which of the following is an example of appropriate delegation to an AP
(UAP/CNA)?
A) Measuring and recording intake and output
B) Teaching a client about wound care
C) Assessing a client's response to pain medication
D) Developing a plan of care for a client
Answer: A
Rationale: APs can collect data such as intake/output, vital signs, and assist with
activities of daily living. They cannot perform assessments, teach, or develop care
plans, as these require licensed nursing judgment [citation:1][citation:11].

, Question 3
A nurse is delegating feeding of a client with dysphagia to an AP. What instruction
must the nurse include?
A) "Feed the client as quickly as possible."
B) "Thicken all liquids to honey consistency."
C) "Immediately report any signs of coughing or choking."
D) "Encourage the client to drink thin liquids."
Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse must instruct the AP to immediately report signs of coughing
or choking, which could indicate aspiration. Thickening liquids and specific diets
require a provider's order [citation:1].
Question 4
A nurse manager is reviewing delegation policies with staff. Which statement by a
staff nurse indicates understanding?
A) "I can delegate any task I don't have time for."
B) "I am responsible for client outcomes even after delegating tasks."
C) "Once I delegate a task, it is no longer my responsibility."
D) "I can delegate assessment to the AP."
