護理長正在規劃護理分派，哪項工作最適合指派給助理護理員（UAP）？

在護理團隊中，適當地分配任務（delegating tasks）給不同層級的醫療人員，是提升照護效率和確保病人安全的重要管理原則。助理醫療人員（Unlicensed Assistive Personnel, UAP），如護理助理（nursing assistant），其職責範圍涵蓋了基礎的病人照護，例如協助病人進行日常活動（ADLs）、測量生命徵象、記錄出入量等。然而，他們不能執行需要專業臨床判斷、評估或複雜技術的操作。此題要求判斷哪項任務最適合交由 UAP 執行。 選項 D，從有留置導尿管（Foley catheter）的病人身上採集尿液檢體（Obtaining a urine specimen），這是一項常規的檢體採集程序，不涉及複雜的技術或專業判斷，因此非常適合由 UAP 執行。選項 A（餵食吞嚥困難者）、B（更換無菌傷口敷料）和 C（監測病人對新藥物的反應）都涉及到不同程度的專業評估、判斷或無菌技術，這些任務應由註冊護理師（RN）或執業護士（LPN/LVN）執行，不適合委派給 UAP。

In the nursing team, appropriately delegating tasks to different levels of personnel is an important management principle for improving care efficiency and ensuring patient safety. The scope of practice of unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP), such as nursing assistants, covers basic patient care, including assisting clients with ADLs, measuring vital signs, and recording intake and output. However, they cannot perform procedures that require professional clinical judgment, assessment, or complex techniques. This item asks which task is most appropriate to delegate to a UAP. Option D, obtaining a urine specimen from a client with an indwelling Foley catheter, is a routine specimen collection procedure that does not involve complex technique or professional judgment and is therefore well suited for delegation to a UAP. Options B (feeding a client with dysphagia), B (changing a sterile wound dressing), and C (monitoring a client's response to a new medication) all involve varying degrees of professional assessment, judgment, or aseptic technique; these tasks should be performed by an RN or LPN/LVN and are not appropriate for delegation to a UAP.
