A)The nurse would show the UAP the exact procedure the first time to avoid any confusion and then have the UAP give a return demonstration to ensure the UAP knows how to properly perform the procedure. The nurse would reassess the client's skin later rather than asking the UAP if the task was done. The nurse could possibly alarm the client by asking the client if care was appropriate. Closely observing the UAP each time defeats the purpose of delegation.
