Answer to Question 1

D
The task of assisting with IV moderate sedation, including the pre-procedure assessment, cannot be delegated to nursing assistive personnel (NAP). In most agencies, an RN or health care provider assesses and monitors a patient's level of sedation, airway patency, and level of consciousness. Roles in monitoring depend on scope-of-practice guidelines as determined by state regulations (see agency policy). You could delegate to assistive personnel the task of recording urine output.

Answer to Question 2

C
