ATI Nur 175 Med Surg Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The nurse working on the medical-surgical unit has delegated several patient care tasks to the unlicensed assistive personnel. What is the nurse's primary responsibility after the delegation of tasks?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Assigning tasks that were not completed to the next nursing shift is a part of shift change protocols but is not the primary responsibility after delegating tasks. Follow-up is crucial to ensure that all tasks are completed correctly and on time. Allowing each staff member to judge if the task needs to be completed undermines the importance of the tasks and could lead to inconsistencies in patient care. It is essential to follow up and ensure that the tasks are completed as delegated. Following up with each staff member regarding the performance and outcome of each task is critical. This ensures that the tasks are completed correctly, provides an opportunity to address any issues, and reinforces accountability in the team. Documenting that the task was completed is important, but it should occur after the nurse has confirmed that the task was performed correctly. Follow-up is essential to verify the accuracy and completeness of the delegated tasks before documentation.
