performing a sterile straight catheterization on a 58-year-old male.
administering a metered dose inhaler medication to a 23-year-old asthmatic.
completing an admissions assessment for a client transferred from a long-term-care facility.
Number 4 is correct.
The RN cannot delegate an admission assessment to an LPN. Initial, comprehensive, and baseline assessments, such as a new client admitted to the floor, are the responsibility of an RN. An LPN may perform a focused assessment on a stable client.
