Which instruction should the nurse delegate to an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?

A. Bring a sterile chest drainage unit from central supply to the unit: This task can be delegated to a UAP. It involves retrieving an item from central supply, which is a non-clinical task and does not require nursing judgment or clinical assessment. B. Observe a client's gait to determine the need for assistance: While UAPs can observe and report changes, assessing gait for the need of assistance involves clinical judgment and evaluation of the patient's safety, which should be done by a nurse. C. Evaluate a client's urinary catheter for proper drainage: Evaluating proper drainage involves clinical assessment, which is within the scope of nursing practice, not a task for a UAP. The nurse should assess for proper functioning and any signs of complications. D. Call the pharmacy to obtain a client's next antibiotic dose: Calling the pharmacy for medications involves communication and clinical decision-making, which is outside the scope of tasks that can be delegated to a UAP. The nurse should handle medication orders.
