A practical nurse (PN) is preparing to delegate assistance with ambulation to an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) for a client who is two days postoperative. Arrange the steps of the delegation process in the correct chronological order.
- 1Assess the client's current stability and determine if the task is appropriate for the UAP.
- 2Communicate clear instructions, including the destination and specific observations to report.
- 3Supervise the UAP during the task or verify periodically that the care is being performed safely.
- 4Evaluate the client's response to ambulation and ensure the completion of the task.
Cevap
The correct sequence for the delegation process is: 1) Assess appropriateness and client stability, 2) Communicate clear instructions, 3) Supervise the delegate, and 4) Evaluate the client's outcome.
The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) outlines a standard delegation process. The PN must first assess the client to ensure stability and verify the task is appropriate for the UAP. Next, the PN communicates clear expectations and guidelines for the task. The PN then supervises the execution of the task, and finally evaluates the client's response and verifies task completion.
