Final Answer:
Tasks that cannot be appropriately delegated to Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAP) include Inserting a Foley catheter, Assessing for symptoms of a urinary tract infection,Teaching a client how to care for a catheter after discharge. Thus the option A) Inserting a Foley catheter,
B) Assessing for symptoms of a urinary tract infection and D) Teaching a client how to care for a catheter after discharge are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Delegating tasks to Unlicensed Assistive Personnel (UAP) involves careful consideration of the complexity, risk, and skill level required for each activity. In this context, inserting a Foley catheter (option A) involves a specialized skill that should be performed by a licensed healthcare professional, such as a registered nurse.
UAP typically do not have the necessary training or scope of practice for invasive procedures like catheter insertions.Assessing for symptoms of a urinary tract infection (option B) requires critical thinking and clinical judgment, which are skills typically possessed by licensed healthcare providers. UAP may assist in collecting data, but the interpretation and assessment of symptoms should be done by a qualified professional.
Teaching a client how to care for a catheter after discharge (option D) involves providing comprehensive information, answering questions, and ensuring the client's understanding.
This task requires a higher level of education and communication skills that align with the scope of a licensed healthcare professional rather than a UAP. It is crucial to recognize the limitations of UAP to ensure patient safety and quality of care.
Thus the option A) Inserting a Foley catheter , B) Assessing for symptoms of a urinary tract infection and D) Teaching a client how to care for a catheter after discharge are correct.
