Only nurses can delegate to other personnel.LPNs can administer routine medications,such as immunization,but not chemotherapy drugs (Bleomycin).A nursing assistant can transfer patients,provide basic hygiene measures,and assess vital signs.(The patient has been receiving blood,so the nurse needs to monitor the first 50 mL that is given because this is when a transfusion reaction is most likely to occur.)
