The nursing assistant can be assigned activities that involve standard, unchanging procedures, such as helping to obtain a clean-catch urine specimen from a client. Teaching, working with complicated procedures (continuous bladder irrigation), and monitoring dietary intake with a person having an eating disorder would need to be assigned to the nurse because they involve assessment and evaluation.
