The practical nurse (PN) is assigning care for a group of clients on the urology medical unit. Which client care interventions should the PN assign to the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)? (Select all that apply.).

Choice A rationale: Obtaining a post-voided residual (PVR) volume is a non-invasive procedure that can be safely delegated to the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) to measure the amount of urine left in the bladder after urination. Choice B rationale: Teaching the client with fluid restrictions how to measure urine output requires specialized knowledge and is best performed by the practical nurse (PN). Choice C rationale: Emptying the bedside drainage unit for a client with an indwelling urinary catheter is a task that can be delegated to the UAP as it involves routine drainage and does not require advanced nursing skills. Choice D rationale: Irrigating an indwelling urinary catheter for a client with bladder suspension is a sterile procedure that requires nursing expertise, so it should not be assigned to the unlicensed assistive personnel. Choice E rationale: Transporting a urine culture sample to the laboratory is a non-complex task that can be safely delegated to the UAP to ensure timely and efficient delivery.
