HESI LPN Exit Exam IV Proctored Exam
The practical nurse (PN) is assigning tasks to an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) who is giving basic care to a group of residents in a long-term care facility. Which client's task should be completed by a PN, rather than the UAP?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Assisting a client with urinary urgency and incontinence with a bedpan is a basic care task that the UAP can perform under supervision. B. A client with continuous urinary bladder irrigation via a 3-way catheter requires tasks that involve monitoring and potentially troubleshooting the system, which are within the PN's scope of practice and not appropriate for a UAP. C. Changing a urinary condom catheter is a routine task that can be performed by a UAP, as it does not require complex decision-making or assessment skills. D. Managing a full urinary bedside drainage unit after receiving a diuretic is a task that the UAP can handle as long as there are no specific complications or concerns to address.
