The charge nurse assigns a client requiring peritoneal dialysis (PD) to a new graduate licensed practical/vocational nurse. The new nurse informed the charge nurse that he was not comfortable with providing PD.
 
  The charge nurse stated that she would show him how to perform the PD, and then he could perform the task since she delegated the task. The nurse wants to avoid respondeat superior. Which action should the nurse do?
  A) Inform the charge nurse that he must abide by the state nurse practice act, which states he must first take classes on peritoneal dialysis, so he must decline.
  B) Perform the PD after the nurse teaches him how to perform the procedure to keep from getting in trouble for not obeying his superior.
  C) Provide the PD as the nurse delegates because the charge nurse becomes fully responsible for any task that is delegated.
  D) Perform the PD with charge nurse present, so the charge nurse charts and takes full responsibility for the care delivered.
