Explanation
Choice C is correct. Reminding, reinforcing, and validating teaching is not within the scope of a UAP. If teaching needs to be reinforced, the nurse manager should assign this task to the licensed practical/vocational nurse (LPN/VN). As the LPN/VN may validate and reinforce teaching.
Choice A is incorrect. A UAP may provide perineal care to a client with an indwelling urinary catheter. This type of care helps reduce the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI).
Choice B is incorrect. A UAP may give a client a passive range of motion (PROM). An example of PROM would be flexing and extending the client's arm.
Choice D is incorrect. A UAP may ambulate a client with a gait belt. A gait belt is applied to help stabilize by ensuring that their center of gravity remains midline.
