Please help me out with a delegation question

[beachbutterfly]

So I am getting ready for NCLEX but I'm confused about some delegation issues between the RN and LPN and the books sure dont make it easy (actually they make it more confusing because each one is saying different things).Specifically I need a clarification regarding the LPN scope of practice.Can a RN delegate to the LPN invasive procedures such as inserting the urinary catheter? Now my confusion rises from the fact the according to Lacharity book the LPN can not insert the foley.I know that I did some NCLEX questions and I believe I saw in them that the LPN can perform sterile dressing change but I'm also not 100% how valid is this source.

Please help out this confused new graduate nurse who is taking her NCLEX in JULY!!!

Sincerely thanks

Actually, for the NCLEX going by state laws is a bad idea since scope can vary widely by state! In my state a CNA can insert foleys and administer meds in some cases while an LPN can do IV meds--which would all be big no no's on the NCLEX. Remember, the NCLEX is a perferct world and real world answers will often be wrong.

I agree. That is what I learned in Rhinehart NCLEX review. You have to go by what the NCLEX wants, not by your state regulations.
