Question 1: Multiple Choice –
During delegation, the RN considers whether the assignment that needs to be
done requires the assessment skills of the RN to be performed safely. This
exemplifies which of the delegation “rights”?
a. Person
b. Feedback
c. Supervision
d. Communication
Response A PERSON
Rationale – This is the appropriate response as the nurse is determining who
the appropriate person infor the task, and if that person is qualified to perform
the task. Feedback is getting information back to determine if/how the process
can be improved. Supervision is following up to see if the patients’ needs are
met.
Communication is making sure that the task is explained appropriately,
instructions are clear and who how and when to report changes is made clear.

Rationale adequate staffing and sufficient time for supervision is necessary in
any type of delegationas the RN must supervise the person any task is
delegated to. The task must be part of the job description of the person you
are delegating to within the nurse’s state practice act. (Catalano, 2015,p.397)
Admission assessments are the RN’s responsibility, to be sure that patient
needs do not go
