2 ATI Video Case Study: Delegation ATI Video Case Study: Delegation The key important things the registered nurse must consider when delegating tasks include: the right task, the right circumstance, the right person, the right direction and communication, and the right supervision and evaluation When delegating the work to the proper individual, consider their education, training, and experience. It should correspond to the patient's health-care requirements. Determine that the instructions are clear and that there is an open line of communication for any clarifications that may arise. Any changes in the patient's condition should be reported quickly since they may have an impact on the treatments. The allocated duties should be followed up on and appraised for positive and negative aspects (Barrow & Sharma, 2021). As a nurse leader, you must be aware of the tasks that might be allocated to various nursing staff members. Routine medicines, blood glucose monitoring, and clothing changes can all be allocated to licensed practical nurses (LPNs). They are generally assigned to outpatients or chronic, stable patients. Tasks like as vital sign monitoring, washing, and ambulating patients may be assigned to assistive personnel (AP). It should be highlighted that a registered nurse (RN) should do the patient assessment, diagnosis, evaluation, and education (ATI, n.d.). When a nurse fails to delegate, it can have a detrimental influence on patient care and expose the nurse to malpractice litigation or Board of Nursing objections (Daily Nurse, 2019). When a delegator gives a delegate too much authority or responsibility, the delegator loses control of the situation. When over-delegation occurs it out a risk at the patients care but even more it adds more tasks to an AP or LPN.
