What factors are most important for the nurse to consider when
delegating responsibilities?
1 Preferences of the clients and staff
2 Physical layout of the unit and client rooms
3 Staff member's level of education and expertise
4 Client's diagnosis and length of time in the hospital -
ANSWER-3
Delegation should provide for client safety based on staff
capabilities as determined by level of education and
experience. Although client and staff preferences may be
considered, they are not the most important criteria for
determining delegation of tasks. Although geographic factors
may be considered when tasks are delegated, these are not the
most significant criteria to consider. The client's acuity, not
diagnosis or length of time in the hospital, is the most
important client factor to consider when appropriate staff
members are assigned to provide care.
,While delegating a task, the registered nurse says to the
delegatee, "Please tell me how you go about performing this
procedure, and I will share with you my perspective about how
frequently and under what conditions we need to communicate
with and report to each other." What does this indicate?
1 The delegatee requires explanation.
2 The delegatee has limited knowledge.
3 The delegatee and delegator relationship is established.
4 The delegatee and delegator are creating mutual
expectations. - ANSWER-4 The delegatee and delegator are
creating mutual expectations.
Asking a delegatee how he or she performs the procedure and
sharing each other's perspective and when to communicate
indicates that the delegator and delegatee are creating mutual
expectations.
When the delegatee demonstrates a task, it indicates that the
delegatee requires explanation. The delegator will direct the
procedures to the delegatee when the delegatee has limited
knowledge. The delegator will motivate the delegatee when the
relationship between the delegatee and delegator is
established.

"Participating" in the context of delegation includes willingness
and ability to perform a task with a new relationship. "Telling"
in the context of delegation includes limited knowledge and
ability to perform the task by the delegatee. "Delegating" in
context with delegation represents established relationships

Which healthcare professionals would the nurse say work
under active delegation? Select all that apply.
1 Physician examining clients in the outpatient ward
, 2 Nurse giving medication to a client as prescribed by the
physician
3 Pharmacist dispensing medicines prescribed by the physician
to the client 4 Licensed practical nurse (LPN) administering
oral medications as delegated by the registered nurse (RN)
5 Unlicensed nursing practitioner (UNP) maintaining oral
hygiene of the clients as delegated by the registered nurse -
ANSWER-4, 5
If tasks are delegated to a delegatee after a thorough
assessment by the delegator who remains accountable for the
delegated tasks, it is called active delegation. Delegation to
LPNs, UNPs, and other nursing personnel by the registered
nurse are examples of active delegation, such as administering
oral medications and maintaining oral hygiene.
Any task performed normally, or as an essential part of practice
by licensed individuals such as physicians, nurses, and
pharmacists form a part of passive delegation.
