Question: 1 of 74ATI nu2500 Leadership Proctored Exam
At the beginning of the shift, an RN is preparing assignments for a licensed practical nurse (LPN) and an assistive personnel (AP). Which of the following tasks should the nurse assign to the LPN?
Explanation
A. The role of the AP includes tasks like recording the amount of fluids the client consumes and produces (urine, emesis, etc.), but it does not require specialized nursing knowledge. B. Postmortem care involves preparing the body after death for the family or transfer to the morgue. This task can be performed by an AP. C. While this task can be delegated to both LPNs and APs, it is often considered a basic task that can be assigned to the AP to free up the LPN for more complex patient care responsibilities. D. Inserting an NG tube is a skill that LPNs are trained to perform, and it is within their scope of practice in many states and healthcare settings, provided they have received the appropriate training and certification.
