Administering medications is typically beyond the scope of a nursing assistant's responsibilities and is usually reserved for licensed practical nurses (LPNs) and registered nurses (RNs). Nursing assistants may assist in reminding patients to take medications but do not have the authority to dispense them.

While nursing assistants may communicate patient needs or concerns to the nursing staff, they do not have the authority to call doctors directly regarding patient care. This task falls under the responsibilities of nurses or other licensed healthcare professionals who can assess the situation and make appropriate medical decisions.

Supervision of peers typically falls within the responsibilities of nursing staff or team leaders rather than nursing assistants. Nursing assistants usually work under the supervision of licensed personnel and focus on direct patient care rather than overseeing the activities of their peers.
