    Which assignment is best for the practical nurse to assign to the unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Evaluating a client's understanding of discharge instructions typically requires a nursing assessment and explanation, more suitable for a licensed nurse. B. Encouraging fluid intake might involve assessing the client's condition and providing specific advice, which aligns more with the responsibilities of a licensed nurse. C. Measuring urinary output is a task that falls within the scope of practice for unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP), as it involves routine data collection and does not require clinical judgment. D. Checking a client's femoral dressing after a cardiac catheterization requires observation for signs of bleeding, which involves assessment and potential interventions beyond the UAP's scope of practice.
