Answer to Question 1
Answer: D
The nurse remains accountable for the care of clients during delegation to the UAP. The UAP may be untrustworthy, but the reason the nurse checks on the clients is because the accountability belongs to the nurse. The nurse could take a report from the UAP and report that to the next shift. The nurse transfers the authority for the delegated care to the UAP.
Answer to Question 2
Answer: A
An assignment of care is made to a qualified individual (the RN), who then may delegate parts of that care to a UAP. The nurse would not assign care to the UAP, but rather, delegate certain tasks to the UAP. Saying that the client does not need the nurse is not the best approach; it is better to explain that the client has improved to the point where the UAP can assist with certain tasks. The UAP may be delegated tasks by a nurse assigned to care for the client. The charge nurse does not make the assessment to delegate to the UAP; the RN assigned to the care of the client is the decision maker.
