A practical nurse (PN) is preparing to delegate a routine daily care task to an assistive personnel (AP). In what order should the PN perform the following steps to ensure safe delegation? Arrange the actions in the correct chronological sequence.
- 1Determine if the task is appropriate for the AP based on the client's stability.
- 2Communicate clear, specific instructions and expectations to the AP.
- 3Verify that the AP comprehends the instructions and knows when to report back.
- 4Evaluate the outcome of the task and provide necessary feedback.
Cevap
Determine appropriateness, communicate instructions, verify comprehension, and evaluate the outcome.
Safe delegation follows a specific sequence. First, the nurse determines if the task is appropriate (Right Task/Circumstance). Second, the nurse provides clear directions (Right Communication). Third, the nurse verifies the AP's understanding of those directions. Finally, after the task is completed, the nurse evaluates the outcome (Right Supervision/Evaluation).
