3. adult client who had a hysterectomy 3 days ago and requires vital sign checks every 4 hours 
4. young adult client who requires tube feedings 
5. adult client newly diagnosed with diabetes who is learning to administer insulin

The UAP can assist clients ambulate and take vital signs. It is within the RN scope of practice to teach the client to administer insulin, change dressings, and administer tube feedings.
