Part of the nurse's responsibility is to delegate appropriate tasks to assistive personnel (AP). According to nursing professional standards, the nurse should delegate tasks that do not require professional judgment, involve standardized procedures, and pertain to activities of daily living. Vital sign measurement, assistance with ambulation, oral hygiene, and intake and output documentation all meet these criteria. Sterile procedures (such as wound dressing changes) involve professional assessment and technique and must be performed by the registered nurse (RN); they cannot be delegated.
