A nurse and an assistive personnel (AP) are assigned a group of clients on the unit. Which of the following clients should the nurse instruct the AP to report to the nurse?

A. A client who consumes all the food from their meal tray. This is a normal finding and does not require immediate reporting to the nurse. It can be documented by the AP as part of routine care. B. A client who has a prescription for compression stockings and did not receive them. Compression stockings are a prescribed intervention to prevent complications such as deep vein thrombosis. The nurse must be informed to ensure timely application and follow-up. C. A client who requests to sit in the bedside chair while watching TV. This is a non-urgent and appropriate activity that does not require nursing intervention unless the client has specific mobility restrictions. D. A client who requests assistance to use the bedside commode. Assisting with toileting is within the AP’s scope of practice and does not need to be reported unless there is an issue (e.g., change in condition, abnormal findings).
