    Hesi RN Exit Proctored Exam

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

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Bringing a sterile chest drainage unit from central supply is a task that does not require clinical judgment and is suitable for a UAP. B. Calling the pharmacy involves understanding and communication about medications, which should be handled by licensed staff. C. Observing a client's gait to determine the need for assistance involves assessment and clinical judgment, which is beyond the UAP's scope. D. Evaluating a client's urinary catheter for proper drainage requires assessment skills that are within the scope of licensed nurses.
