Delegation Question - Glucose checks

[ittybabyRN]

I seem to have run into this question a few times, especially in SATA questions. Can a nursing assistant check a blood sugar level? The answer I got to this today said that yes, that was part of the correct answer, but in the rational said that nursing assistance typically cannot do fingersticks. Is this a typo? I feel as though I have had this question a few times and each time answered it according to what I read last and every time I'm wrong!

(I know in real-world practice CNA's often routinely preform fingersticks, but in NCLEX-world?)

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.
