A nurse is reinforcing teaching about values to a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following statements by the newly licensed nurse indicates an understanding?

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.

Choice A reason: This task is unsafe to assign to an AP, as it requires clinical judgment and critical thinking skills that are beyond the scope of practice of an AP. A confused surgical client who has multiple tubes may be at risk of complications such as infection, bleeding, or dislodgement of the tubes. The nurse is responsible for monitoring the client's condition, assessing the tubes' function and placement, and intervening as needed.

Choice B reason: This task is safe to assign to an AP, as it does not involve direct client care or clinical decision making. Providing postmortem care for a client who has died involves preparing the body for transport, removing any tubes or devices, and ensuring respect and dignity for the deceased and their family. The nurse should supervise and instruct the AP on how to perform this task according to the facility's policies and procedures.

Choice C reason: This task is safe to assign to an AP, as it is part of the basic care and comfort activities that an AP can perform under the nurse's delegation. Assisting a client to eat who has difficulty seeing the foods on the tray involves helping the client identify the food items, cutting or opening them if needed, and encouraging adequate intake. The nurse should ensure that the client has no dietary restrictions or swallowing difficulties before assigning this task to the AP.

Choice D reason: This task is safe to assign to an AP, as it is a routine and noninvasive procedure that an AP can perform under the nurse's direction. Delivering a client’s urine specimen to the laboratory involves labeling the specimen container, placing it in a biohazard bag, and transporting it to the designated area. The nurse should provide the AP with clear instructions on how to collect and handle the specimen.
