After receiving a change of shift report for clients on a medical surgical unit, which activity should the nurse delegate to the practical nurse (PN)?

A. This task typically requires a more advanced level of clinical judgment and assessment skills, which are usually beyond the scope of practice for a PN and should be conducted by a Registered Nurse (RN). B. Removing discontinued peripheral IV catheters is a task that falls within the scope of practice for a Practical Nurse (PN). It does not require the advanced assessment skills or judgment that some other tasks might require. C. This involves critical thinking and clinical decision-making that are responsibilities typically reserved for an RN, as it requires integrating new information and adjusting care plans based on ongoing assessments. D. While PNs can perform certain types of wound care, initiating sterile wound care for surgical clients often requires the advanced knowledge and assessment skills of an RN, particularly if the wound care involves evaluating surgical site integrity and potential complications.
