Practice Question
A nurse on the postpartum unit is planning to delegate client care to an assistive personnel (AP). Which of the following tasks should the nurse plan to delegate to the AP?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Assist with changing the perineal pad of a client following delivery.
Rationale:
🧼 APs can assist with hygiene tasks like perineal pad changes, especially post-delivery.
🧼 This task does not require nursing judgment or assessment, making it appropriate for delegation.
🧼 Vital signs of a newly admitted client, observing for redness, and sitz baths for 4th-degree lacerations all require RN oversight or are inappropriate for delegation.
