A licensed practical nurse has recently begun working in a new setting and has been informed by the unit manager that she will be responsible for admitting a client who will soon be arriving on the unit.
 
  The nurse is unsure of the specific admission process that is used on the unit and was not responsible for admissions in her previous nursing role. How should the nurse respond to the manager's directive?
  A) Perform the admission to the best of her ability since it is within her scope of practice
  B) Inform the client that she is doing an admission for the first time before performing the task
  C) Delegate the task to an unlicensed care provider who has more experience on the unit
  D) Ask the manager for further teaching and training about the admission process on the unit

Ans: D
Feedback:
Education should not be confused with competence. A job title or assignment to perform a specific task does not necessarily qualify that person to do it and it is appropriate to ask for more teaching before performing an unfamiliar task. It would be inappropriate to proceed without further teaching. This task may not be delegated to unlicensed care personnel.
