1 . Taking routine vital signs

3.  Answering clients' call lights

5 .Changing linens on an occupied bed

Explanation:

Taking care of routine vital signs is the universal job the UAPs are assigned with. Answering the call lights is the universal activity the UAPs are taught to perform. Changing the linens on the occupied bed is also the universal activity of the UAPs.

The UAPs do not have the credentials or expertise to apply the sterile dressing on the patients. They are not allowed to administer the intravenous solutions to the patients. They are not allowed to assess the client responses in an ambulance. These activities are associated with the daily working of a licensed medical practitioner.
