Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Patient safety is a priority.
B This is not a priority for patient safety.
C This is not a priority for patient safety.
D This is not a priority for patient safety.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A The prothrombin time blood sample should not be obtained from the arm in which the heparin is running and the UAP is not qualified to know that.
B The site for blood draws in this patient would need to be carefully chosen by only an RN to protect the patient from injury.
C It is within the UAP's scope of practice to draw blood (if allowed in the institu-tion) from patients without IV issues.
D This is inappropriate delegation; the RN should draw this patient's blood.
