Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D
These tasks have predictable outcomes. Additionally, the NA has been taught to safely perform these tasks. Administering a nasogastric tube feeding is an invasive procedure, beyond the scope of the NA because it requires nursing judgment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Weighing a patient is within a nursing assistant's scope of practice. The remaining options are not within a nursing assistant's scope of practice. Examples of duties not to delegate to a nursing assistant include sterile technique procedures, crisis situations, initial patient education, and interpretation of data.
