    Hesi lpn exit 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. Client with urinary urgency asking for a bedpan: UAP can assist with elimination needs. B. Client with paraplegia needing condom catheter change: UAP can perform this with training. C. Client with continuous bladder irrigation via 3-way catheter: Requires assessment of output, tubing patency, and potential complications - nursing responsibility. D. Client with a full bedside drainage unit after diuretic: UAP can empty and measure output.
