Explanation
Answer: B - When delegating tasks to the CNA, the nurse should give concise and clear directions to maintain the client’s safety. Monitoring, performing complex assessment, and making decisions about the management of care lie primarily with the registered nurse. The CNA and LPN can handle stable clients with minimal risk of health status changes.
