Practice Question
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?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Inserting a nasogastric tube for a client
Rationale:
💡Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) can perform invasive procedures like inserting a nasogastric (NG) tube, depending on their scope of practice and facility policy.
💡This task requires technical skill and knowledge, making it appropriate for an LPN rather than assistive personnel (AP).
💡Tasks such as measuring intake and output, obtaining weight, or providing postmortem care are non-invasive and fall within the scope of the AP.
💡Assigning appropriately ensures safe delegation and optimal resource use.
