A nurse assistant in a nursing home comes into a patient's room to get him
ready for bed. The patient requests his pain medication. What can the
assistant do based on the nurse assistant's scope of practice?

If the nurse is just an assistant, and can't give out medication without supervision, she can go out and ask for a nurse to come in and either monitor her giving him his medication, or she can ask someone to give him medication.

If the nurse is able to give out medication without supervision, then she can give out his meds, as long as know the correct dose.

I hope this helps
