During code team procedures, a nursing assistant might be asked to:

Administer medications
Assist with surgery
Give chest compressions during CPR
Prepare the defibrillator

The correct answer is: Administer medications

Nursing assistants are not licensed to administer medications. This task falls under the duties of a licensed nurse or physician. Assisting with surgery and using a defibrillator also require specialized training and qualifications. Giving chest compressions during CPR, however, is a task that a nursing assistant may be asked to do during a code team emergency. This is because chest compressions are an essential part of CPR and do not require specialized training.
