When delegating a task to unlicensed

Multiple choice — select the best answer

AA client admitted overnight with a new diagnosis of stroke.
BA client who returned from abdominal surgery two hours ago.
CA client with stable chronic heart failure awaiting discharge.
DA client receiving IV insulin for diabetic ketoacidosis.

✓ Correct answer: C. A client with stable chronic heart failure awaiting discharge. Delegation to UAP is appropriate for stable clients with predictable care needs; a stable client with chronic heart failure awaiting discharge poses the lowest risk of acute deterioration during routine morning care.
