A nurse is reinforcing teaching about delegation with a newly licensed nurse indicates understanding? Which of the following statements if made by the newly licensed nurse

Delegation requires the delegating nurse to retain accountability for ensuring that tasks are completed appropriately and that outcomes are satisfactory. When a registered nurse delegates a task, responsibility for the outcome remains with the delegating nurse even though the task itself is performed by another person. The statement that the nurse is responsible for ensuring a delegated task is completed correctly reflects this principle and indicates understanding of delegation. The statement suggesting the delegate should perform a task without asking questions is incorrect — the delegate has both the right and the responsibility to seek clarification before proceeding, particularly if the task is unclear or outside their scope. The claim that the nurse manager is responsible for delegating nursing tasks each shift is also inaccurate; the bedside RN, not only the manager, has delegation authority and responsibility during client care. Finally, there are five rights of delegation — the right task, right circumstance, right person, right directions and communication, and right supervision and evaluation — not four, so that statement reflects a factual error. Understanding that the delegating nurse retains supervisory responsibility is a foundational principle in safe nursing practice.
