Feedback:
Although the registered nurse is responsible for the admission assessment, the nurse may delegate some aspects to the practical nurse, nursing student, or other ancillary staff. For example, the nurse can delegate parts of the client's physical assessment, which includes taking vital signs, to the other ancillary staff. The nurse cannot normally delegate the creation of a care plan, medication administration or documentation to an unlicensed care provider.
