Expert Solution
Step 1

Nursing tasks are frequently delegated by Registered Nurses (RNs) to other team members. RNs in the healthcare team are in charge of determining the appropriate level of supervision and supervising those to whom they have allocated tasks.

RNs are responsible for the decision to delegate as well as the quality of nursing care provided to the patient.

If the person to whom the work was delegated completed it as instructed, the delegating RN retains responsibility for the patient outcomes connected with nurse delegation.
