Very grey question you are asking since you did not provide much details such as type facility you are working, whether you are licensed, who delegated the responsibility, and whether you feel you are qualified to do such an assessment, etc. However, I believe these links might be of help:

Guidelines For: Determining Scope of Nursing Practice and Making Delegation Decisions

New Jersey Board of Nursing Fact Sheet: Decisions Making Model for Delegations of Selected Nursing Tasks

New Jersey Board of Nursing Seven Step Decision Making Model:

Algorithm for Determining Scope of Nursing Practice

In addition, I would take a closer look at your policies and procedure manual and contact the NJ Board of Nursing for the most accurate answer.
