Section 1: Management of Care & Delegation (Questions 1-25)
Question 1
A nurse on a med-surg unit has received change-of-shift report and will care for
four clients. Which of the following client needs may the nurse assign to an
assistive personnel (AP)?
A. Feeding a client who was admitted 24 hours ago with aspiration pneumonia
B. Reinforcing teaching with a client who is learning to walk using a quad cane
C. Reapplying a condom catheter for a client who has urinary incontinence ✓
D. Applying a sterile dressing to a pressure ulcer
Rationale: The application of a condom catheter is a noninvasive, routine
procedure that may be delegated to an AP. Feeding a client with aspiration
pneumonia requires knowledge of swallowing precautions, teaching requires
nursing judgment, and sterile dressing application requires aseptic technique—
all beyond the AP scope of practice.

licensed practical nurse (LPN)?
, A. Performing an initial admission assessment
B. Administering a routine oral medication to a stable client ✓
C. Creating the nursing care plan for a post-operative client
D. Discharging a client after providing discharge teaching
Rationale: LPNs can administer stable, routine oral medications. Assessment,
care planning, and discharge teaching are RN responsibilities that require
advanced clinical judgment.
