According to the principles of delegation, which task is MOST appropriate for a registered nurse (RN) to delegate to unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP)?

Appropriate tasks to delegate to UAP (unlicensed assistive personnel) are ROUTINE, STANDARDIZED tasks for STABLE clients with PREDICTABLE outcomes — such as assisting a stable client with BATHING, AMBULATION, feeding, vital signs, and hygiene (activities of daily living). NCLEX safe care/delegation. The RN CANNOT delegate the nursing process steps that require nursing judgment: ASSESSMENT, planning (care plans), evaluation, and teaching; nor can a UAP administer medications (especially IV) or care for unstable clients. The 'FIVE RIGHTS OF DELEGATION': right task, right circumstance, right person, right direction/communication, right supervision. Knowing what can and cannot be delegated is a heavily tested NCLEX management-of-care concept.
