the role. There is no official code of ethics but they must adhere to the
codes of behaviour from their employer.
Regulated Health Professions Act - CORRECT-ANSWER-Regulated
Health Professions. In Ontario, regulated health professions are
governed under the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991 (RHPA) and

framework establishes health regulatory colleges, which regulate the
professions in the public interest. i.e. the college of nurses.

ALL RULES REGARDING DELEGATION - CORRECT-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
, Page |4
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.
The basic needs from the lowest-level to the highest-level as follows:
• Physical needs (must be met first): oxygen, food, water, elimination,
rest and shelter.
• Need for safety: protection from harm, danger, fear and pain.
