a nurse is planning care for four clients and is assigning tasks to a licensed practical nurse (lpn) and an assistive personnel (ap). which of the following should the nurse assign to the lpn?
complete an admission assessment for a client who has copd.
measure i&o for a client who has an indwelling urinary catheter.
reinforce teaching to a client to begin taking enoxaparin at home following a hip arthroplasty.
develop a plan of care for a client who has cholecystitis.

Explanation:

LPNs can perform routine, stable client tasks like measuring intake and output (I&O) for a client with an indwelling urinary catheter. Admission assessments, initial teaching for new medications, and developing care plans are within the scope of registered nurses, not LPNs.

Answer:

B. Measure I&O for a client who has an indwelling urinary catheter.
