Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

UAPs (Unlicensed Assistive Personnel) can be delegated tasks that do not require clinical judgment, such as recording findings from basic care activities like sponge baths. Administration of medication, teaching clients, and assessing clients require professional judgment and knowledge, making them inappropriate tasks to delegate to UAPs.
