Evaluating whether the delegation process was completed safely and effectively
To perform a critical analysis, the registered nurse uses the nursing process as a guide
for delegation. The registered nurse in this situation determines what is legally
appropriate to delegate. Then the registered nurse plans an intervention for it and
determines whether the delegatee is competent to perform the task safely. The
registered nurse implements the plan including an observation of the delegatee. Then
the registered nurse evaluates whether the delegation process was completed safely
and effectively.1

The delegatee should be assigned a task if he or she has experience that would allow
the delegator to provide minimal guidance. The willingness of the delegatee is also
important to consider before assigning the task. The competence of the delegatee must
be assessed before assigning the task. The delegator should supervise the tasks
performed by the delegatee. The delegatee's communication skills are assessed to
ensure right direction and communication.
The registered nurse (RN) delegates the tasks of caring for a client with pressure ulcers.
The client suffers further tissue necrosis during treatment. What could be the reason for
this condition?
1
Cleaning of the wound by the registered nurse (RN)
2
Performing irrigation of the wound by the patient care associate (PCA)
3
Administering of oral analgesics by the licensed practical nurse (LPN)
4
Repositioning the client every 1-2 hours by the licensed practical nurse (LPN) -
CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔✔✔✔ Performing irrigation of the wound by the patient
care associate (PCA)
The patient care associate (PCA) is not authorized to irrigate the wound as improper
technique can lead to tissue damage. The RN is qualified to perform wound care;
therefore, cleaning the wound is not likely to lead to tissue necrosis. Pressure ulcers are
associated with pain. The LPN administering oral analgesics may relieve the pain, but it
will not cause tissue necrosis. Having the licensed practical nurse (LPN) reposition the
client every 1 or 2 hours will minimize the risk of tissue necrosis due to pressure ulcers.

Client-centered outcomes research

Comparative effectiveness research (CER) - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔✔✔✔
Practice-based evidence (PBE)
PBE is a research methodology that helps inform practice. It uses an observational
cohort study design that compares clinically relevant interventions, includes diverse
study participants, uses heterogeneous practice settings, collects data on a broad range
of health outcomes, and includes frontline clinicians in study development. EBP is the
integration of the best research evidence with clinical expertise and the client's unique
values and circumstances in making decisions about the care of individual clients.
Client-centered outcomes researchers conduct research to provide information about
the best available evidence to help clients and their providers make decisions that are
more informed. CER is the generation and synthesis of evidence that compares the
benefits and harms of alternative methods.
