In a situation where a team member is unable to perform an assigned task because it is beyond their scope of practice, the appropriate action would be to communicate this concern to a supervisor or team leader. This ensures that the task is reassigned to someone with the appropriate qualifications and prevents potential harm or errors. The correct action aligns with ensuring patient safety and maintaining professional standards.

So, the team member should:

A) Ask for a new task or role.

By doing so, the team member acknowledges their limitations and seeks to contribute in a way that is within their capabilities, ensuring the task is completed correctly and safely.
