Management of CareQuestion 1758 of 2368

The RN wants to know whether instructions given to a UAP were clear. Which action is most helpful?

  2. Repeat the instructions in a louder voice
  3. Ask the UAP to restate the instructions and the plan
  4. Add more details about the unit's other clients
Show answer

Correct answer: Ask the UAP to restate the instructions and the plan

Having the listener restate the instructions shows whether the information was understood. Extra irrelevant details can confuse the listener.
