A nurse is planning to delegate client care to an assistive personnel (AP). Which of the following tasks should the nurse plan to delegate to the AP?

Reinserting an NG tube that was pulled out by a client

Recording output for a client who has multiple drains and tubes

Teaching a family member how to change a simple dressing at home

Suctioning a client's tracheostomy that has been in place for 3 days

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

Recording output for a client who has multiple drains and tubes is a task that can be delegated to an AP, as it does not require nursing judgment or assessment skills. Reinserting an NG tube, teaching a family member how to change a dressing, and suctioning a tracheostomy are tasks that require nursing judgment, assessment skills, and specialized knowledge, and therefore cannot be delegated to an AP.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Dangling the client's arm over the edge of the bed helps dilate the vein by increasing venous pressure due to gravity. Flexing the arm with the hand open does not affect venous dilation and may cause muscle tension that can impede insertion. Applying a cool compress constricts rather than dilates the vein by causing vasoconstriction. Stroking the skin near the vein may irritate or damage the vein and does not promote dilation.

A. I will raise my eyelid up while looking down to insert the drops." B. I will press the inner comer of my eye after I insert the drops. C. I will insert the drops in the center of each eye. D. I will keep my eyes closed for 5 minutes after inserting the drops."

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

The client should press the inner corner of their eye after inserting the drops to prevent systemic absorption and reduce side effects. The client should raise their eyelid up while looking up (not down) to insert the drops.
