    Question: 1 of 32Ati Lpn Leadership Proctored Exam
    The PN is assigned to supervise two nursing assistants and ensure patient care tasks are completed safely. What is the PN's primary responsibility in this role?
    Explanation
    A. Allowing the assistants to plan patient care independently is inappropriate because nursing assistants do not have the education or licensure to make nursing judgments or develop care plans. Their role is to perform delegated tasks under supervision, not to determine patient priorities or care needs. B. The PN’s primary responsibility in a supervisory role is to ensure that delegated tasks are carried out safely, correctly, and in accordance with established standards of care. This involves direct observation, offering constructive feedback, correcting errors, and providing support to promote safe, high-quality patient outcomes. C. Assigning tasks and leaving the area to complete charting shows inadequate supervision and increases the risk of errors or harm, as the PN would not be available to monitor performance or intervene if a problem arises. D. Completing all care tasks independently is ineffective use of team resources and prevents nursing assistants from contributing within their scope of practice. It also limits the PN’s ability to manage multiple patients and perform higher-level nursing responsibilities.
