The person to whom the assignment was delegated cannot delegate that assignment to someone else. If the person cannot carry out the assignment, the individual needs to notify the delegating RN so that the task may be reassigned or completed by the RN. The RN must remember to delegate tasks that do not require nursing judgment. Only tasks that are routine such as bathing, monitoring intake and output, and assisting with mobility, and do not require variation from a standardized procedure should be delegated. |
