Delegation nursing review for the NCLEX exam. • What is delegation in nursing? It’s where a licensed nurse (RN) transfers responsibility to a person, who is competent, to perform a certain task for the nurse. • Purpose of delegation in nursing: It frees up the RN to care for more critical patients and complete other necessary tasks. • However, in delegation the RN is still ACCOUNTABLE (liable or responsible) for that delegated task getting done even though they are not the one doing it. Therefore, accountability is NOT transferred to that person performing the task. • It's important to remember not all tasks can be delegated to other nursing staff such as the LPN/LVN or UAP (nursing assistant). This is because some tasks are only within the RN’s scope of practice to perform. • This is where the RN should know when, how, and what tasks should be delegated. In addition, it's very important the RN is always familiar with their facilities and state's protocol (ex: who can do what...ex: some LPN can give IV medications in some states if they have training, while other states don't allow it). • When delegating it is important to follow the 5 Rights of Delegation: • Right Task • Right Circumstance • Right Person • Right Direction/Communication • Right Supervision • Support our YouTube Channel and Website by purchasing our super cool nursing gear: https://teespring.com/stores/register... • Delegation NCLEX Questions: http://www.registerednursern.com/dele... • Notes: http://www.registerednursern.com/dele... • More NCLEX Reviews: • Guillain-Barré Syndrome Nursing NCLEX... • Follow Us: • Facebook: / registerednurserns • Instagram: / registerednursern_com • Twitter: / nursesrn • #delegation #nursingdelegation #delegationnclex #delegationnclexquestions • Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c... • Nursing School Supplies: http://www.registerednursern.com/the-... • Visit our website RegisteredNurseRN.com for free quizzes, nursing care plans, salary information, job search, and much more: http://www.registerednursern.com • Popular Playlists: • NCLEX Reviews: • NCLEX Study Strategies • Fluid Electrolytes: • Fluid and Electrolytes Nursing • Nursing Skills: • Nursing Skills Videos • Nursing School Study Tips: • Nursing School Study Tips • Nursing School Tips Questions • Nursing School Tips Questions • Teaching Tutorials: • Teaching Tutorials • Types of Nursing Specialties: • Types of Nursing Specialties • Healthcare Salary Information: • Healthcare Salary Information • New Nurse Tips: • New Nurse Tips • Nursing Career Help: • Nursing Career Help • EKG Teaching Tutorials: • EKG/ECG Interpretation • Dosage Calculations for Nurses: • Dosage Calculations Nursing • Diabetes Health Managment: • Diabetes Health Managment
