👥 Delegation Practice
Delegation is one of the highest-yield NCLEX Management of Care topics. Practice deciding which tasks can be delegated and to whom — roles vary by setting: RN, LPN, UAP, Tech (ER/hospital techs), and more.
Five Rights of Delegation
Right Task — Is this task appropriate to delegate? Is it routine, is the outcome predictable?
Right Circumstance — Is the patient stable? Is the setting appropriate for delegation?
Right Person — Does the delegate have the skills/scope of practice for this task?
Right Direction — Were clear instructions given? Does the delegate understand the task?
Right Supervision — Is the RN available to supervise, answer questions, and evaluate outcomes?
