    The nurse is completing an admission assessment for a client with a known history of depression and multiple, unexplained fractures. Which action should the nurse delegate to the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A) Screening the client for domestic violence requires specialized training and should be performed by the nurse or another qualified healthcare provider. B) Assessing the client's risk for suicide involves a comprehensive evaluation and should be conducted by the nurse or another qualified healthcare provider. C) Asking the client to state a chief complaint for admission is part of the admission assessment and should be performed by the nurse. D) Obtaining a baseline set of vital signs is a task that can be safely delegated to the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) as it does not require specialized knowledge or interpretation.
