Re: Delegation Question - Glucose checks

I dont think you would get this in an NCLEX question because NCLEX must have a clear answer..one that can only be the right answer when compared to the other options. BG sticks by CNAs/UAP is determined by hospital policy.

Re: Delegation Question - Glucose checks

Now I'm confused just had a SATA question from NCLEX 4000 CD and sure enough I got it wrong. It asked about delegation to the CNA the one choice I didnt pick was perform glucose checks. I was so upset it has to be wrong, lol. The rationale basically stated that as long as the RN delegated using the 5 rights it was perfectly fine- right task and so on and so forth. This is crazy and really I hope to God they dont ask a question like this.

Re: Delegation Question - Glucose checks

I was performing fingersticks as a NA 1 which is allowed at the hospital I work. It sounds like the correct answer would be "per hospital policy"...not a "yes" or a "no"

This is the same thing I was thinking but I thought on the NCLEX we were suppose to go by our book knowledge not hospital experiences. I have never seen information stating a UAP/CNA performing glucose checks until the NCLEX 4000.
