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)?

Choice A rationale: Screening the client for domestic violence requires a more comprehensive assessment and interpretation of findings, which is beyond the scope of practice for the UAP. Choice B rationale: Determining the client's risk for suicide involves complex judgment and should be assessed by a licensed healthcare provider, not a UAP. Choice C rationale: Asking the client to state a chief complaint for admission involves initial communication and assessment skills, which should be performed by licensed nursing staff. Choice D rationale: Obtaining a baseline set of vital signs is a routine task that can be delegated to the UAP. It is a non-complex and standard part of the admission process.
