Answer to Question 1

B
The nurse may delegate activities to individuals who are competent, within their scope of practice, and willing to be legally responsibleall while maintaining responsibility for follow-up and outcome. The nurse can delegate to a nursing assistant to encourage patients to practice postoperative exercises regularly after instruction, and to inform the nurse if the patient is unwilling to perform these exercises. The skills of demonstrating and teaching postoperative exercises and documenting are not within the scope of practice for the nursing assistant. Doing nothing is not appropriate.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
