A new client arrived on the unit while the nurse was obtaining the end-of-shift report from the night nurse. This client is admitted walking and is here for a cardiac workup; the client is assigned to the nurse. The unlicensed assistive personnel has settled the client in the room and oriented the client to the surroundings, call system, bathroom, bedside supplies, and where to place clothes.

Ask the unlicensed assistive personnel to obtain vital signs. Gather information and complete the admission database.
