D) A registered nurse is assigned to complete admission assessments.
Ans: A
Feedback:
Always requiring a male nurse to assist in lifting clients is saying that men are for physical work and this is discrimination. Pregnancy usually has nothing to do with administering medications. Nurse's aides may assist with blood pressures. Admission is a part of the job of the registered nurse.
