How this exercise works
Decide whether each task stays with the RN, can go to an LPN/LVN, or is appropriate for UAP. Match scope, stability, and five-rights delegation rules.
Fundamental concept
What registered nurses may assign to LPN/LVN and unlicensed assistive personnel versus what requires RN retention.
