A nurse is assisting with the preparation of an in-service to review the Code of Ethics (COE) with a group of nursing colleagues. Which of the following statements should the nurse make during the in-service about the COE?

Choice A reason: Irrigating and performing a dressing change for a client who has a pressure injury wound is not a task that the nurse should delegate to an AP. This task requires the nurse's clinical judgment, skill, and knowledge to assess the wound, select the appropriate dressing, and prevent infection. This task is also within the nurse's scope of practice, but not the AP's scope of practice.

Choice B reason: Administering oral PRN pain medication to a client who has arthritis is not a task that the nurse should delegate to an AP. This task involves the nurse's responsibility to evaluate the client's pain level, determine the need and the dosage of the medication, and monitor the client's response and side effects. This task is also within the nurse's scope of practice, but not the AP's scope of practice.

Choice C reason: Obtaining a daily weight on a client who has heart failure is a task that the nurse can delegate to an AP. This task is a routine and standardized procedure that does not require the nurse's clinical judgment, skill, or knowledge. This task is also within the AP's scope of practice, if the nurse provides clear directions and supervision.

Choice D reason: Reinforcing teaching the use of an incentive spirometer to a postoperative client is not a task that the nurse should delegate to an AP. This task involves the nurse's role to educate the client about the purpose, benefits, and technique of using the incentive spirometer, and to evaluate the client's understanding and compliance. This task is also within the nurse's scope of practice, but not the AP's scope of practice.

Choice A reason: Identifying viruses across the world is not information that the nurse should include in the in-service on the Healthy People 2030 framework. This is not a function or a goal of the framework, but a task of other organizations, such as the World Health Organization or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Choice B reason: Monitoring nonmodifiable risk factors is not information that the nurse should include in the in-service on the Healthy People 2030 framework. This is not a focus or a priority of the framework, but a part of the assessment and evaluation of the health status and needs of the population. The framework emphasizes the social determinants of health, which are modifiable factors that affect the health and wellbeing of people and communities.
Choice C reason: Utilizing health data from the past 20 years is not information that the nurse should include in the in-service on the Healthy People 2030 framework. This is not a characteristic or a feature of the framework, but a method of developing and updating the framework. The framework is based on the best available evidence and data from various sources, including the previous iterations of the Healthy People initiative.
Choice D reason: Establishing health objectives for Americans is an information that the nurse should include in the in-service on the Healthy People 2030 framework. This is the main purpose and function of the framework, which sets data driven national objectives to improve the health and wellbeing of all people over the next decade. The framework also provides evidence-based resources, strategies, and interventions to help achieve the objectives.
