Answer Choices:
Obtaining vital signs on clients who are stable.
⫸ Obtaining vital signs is within the standard scope of practice for assistive personnel (AP), especially when the client is stable and does not require critical interpretation.
⫸ The task is routine, noninvasive, and does not involve clinical judgment, making it suitable for delegation under the nurse's supervision.
⫸ The nurse retains accountability for evaluating the results and intervening if any abnormal values are reported, ensuring patient safety is maintained.
⫸ Delegating this task helps optimize workload efficiency by allowing the RN to focus on complex assessments, interventions, and teaching.
