The nurse can delegate assisting the client to get up in the chair or ambulate to the bathroom,applying TEDs or sequential compression devices,and taking/recording vital signs.The spirometer should be used every hour the day after surgery.Assessing pain using a 0-to-10 scale is a nursing assessment,although if the client reports pain,the UAP should inform the nurse so a more detailed assessment is done.
