Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Unregulated Care Providers (UCPs) can be delegated tasks that do not require clinical judgment or assessment skills, such as established gastrostomy feedings, under the supervision of a regulated healthcare professional. Evaluating care effectiveness, assessment, and client education typically require professional judgment and knowledge, and therefore, are usually not delegated to UCPs.
