The unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) can be delegated tasks related to patients who are stable. The post-hysterectomy patient who needs to be assisted to the bathroom is an example of an assignment that can be given to an UAP. Assessment and monitoring of critically-ill and unstable patients are important duties of a registered nurse. The nurse must obtain frequent vital signs for the patient receiving a blood transfusion to assess for a possible transfusion reaction. The patient with hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) is unstable and may require quick action by the nurse depending on the glucose level, so the nurse must perform the glucose level check.
