Question 1 of 5

An RN is delegating a task to an unlicensed assistive personnel. Which of the following scenarios best demonstrates appropriate delegation?

A. Mr. G’s lunch tray should arrive in 30 minutes. Before you deliver his meal tray, please reinforce the information that the diabetes educator went over with him earlier this morning. If necessary, re-teach him to regulate his intake of carbohydrates. Report to me when you are finished.' B. Mr. G in Room 258 finished taking a shower and needs help getting back to bed. Help him as soon as possible. Please ensure he wears non-slip socks before ambulating. Once you have assisted him back to bed, notify me so I can assess him.' C. Mr. G just called and is complaining of dizziness. Please see him as soon as possible and feel his pulse. If you suspect he is hypoglycemic, give him orange juice then check his blood sugar. When you are done, report to me your findings.' D. Mr. G requests assistance to the bathroom. Please help him as soon as possible. I understand you are new and are uncomfortable with this task, but the best way to learn is to try on your own. When you are done, let me know how it went.'

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because it demonstrates appropriate delegation by providing clear instructions, ensuring patient safety, and emphasizing communication with the RN for further assessment. The unlicensed assistive personnel is directed to assist Mr. G safely back to bed and notify the RN for assessment. This scenario prioritizes patient needs, safety, and effective communication, aligning with best practices for delegation.
Choice A lacks urgency and focuses on education rather than immediate patient care.
Choice C involves potential clinical assessment and treatment beyond the scope of the unlicensed personnel.
Choice D is inappropriate as it disregards the individual's comfort level and prioritizes personal learning over patient care.
