Answer☑️
• Have the knowledge, skill, and judgement to perform the task competently.

delegating nurse is responsible for providing all necessary teaching, but not everyone is able
to teach others how to perform something. Good communication skills and patience
required.

determine the risks and benefits of teaching the task and be able to confidently predict its
outcome.

correctly.

is unique.

Active Listening -
Answer☑️
Paying close attention to a client's verbal and nonverbal communication - listening o the
content, the intent and feelings behind the words. The following are guidelines for active
listening:
• face the client: the client will often need to see your facial expressions and body language
to be assured you are listening
• make eye contact: however, consider cultural preferences in regards to eye contact.
• lean toward the client: Do not sit back with your arms crossed as this can be interpreted
as an indication that you are not open and receptive to what the client is telling you.
• respond to your client: note however that sometimes your client may just need to vent

ALL RULES REGARDING DELEGATION -
Answer☑️
Only regulated health care providers like nurses have the authority (legal right) to perform
certain tasks because they have the knowledge, skill and training to perform them. They are
called controlled acts and are considered harmful if they are performed by unqualified
people. In some circumstances some acts will be delegated to you. In order to do this,
specific conditions called "exceptions" must be met for delegation to be permitted. The
nurse must feel confident the support worker understands what the responsibilities are
when performing the task, knowns when and who to ask for assistance, and knowns when,
how and whom to report the outcome of the task.
Tasks that may be delegated to support workers must be routine ones with predictable
outcomes that require little supervision and can only be delegated for stable clients.
Delegation tasks may include: suctioning a permanent tracheotomy in and out catherization;
administering glucometers, dressings, tube feedings and medication.
Only some nursing tasks can be delegated. Your employer's policies and guidelines, your job
description and provincial or territorial legislation determine what tasks can be delegated to
you.

, Sometimes these rules vary between community and LTC.
In Ontario an RN, RPN and LPN can delegate.
A delegated task is not transferrable to another client. Just because you did it for one
person, does not mean you are able to perform the SAME task on another client without
training.
