    While caring for a client with a new prescription to initiate droplet precautions, which task can the practical nurse (PN) assign to the unlicensed assistive personnel (ÚAP)?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Obtain the necessary isolation supplies: This is within UAP scope and supports infection control. B. Notify the dietary department of the change: This requires licensed staff as it involves coordination of care. C. Explain the precautions to the family: Teaching is a PN/RN responsibility, not a UAP task. D. Update the client's plan of care: This is a nursing responsibility and outside the UAP’s scope.
