Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Because the initial set of vital signs are part of the general health assessment they must be taken by the nurse.After that the NAP may take vital signs for a stable patient.The nurse directs NAP to report a patient's subjective signs and symptoms to the nurse,to measure the patient's height and weight,and to monitor oral intake and urinary output.
