• Right task: The task is within the UAP's scope of practice and competence.
• Right circumstances: The patient care setting and resources are appropriate for the delegation.
• Right person: The UAP is competent to perform the delegated task or activity.
• Right communication: The nurse provides a clear and concise explanation of the task or activity, including
limits and expectations.
• Right supervision: The nurse appropriately monitors, evaluates, intervenes, and provides feedback on the
delegation process as needed.
Do not delegate what you can EAT: Evaluate Assess Teach
Know the 6 ethical principals that nurses should use and examples of them:
1. Autonomy – self management (person suffers an accident and doesn’t want extra measures)
2. Beneficence – doing good for the patient (nurse & patient decide on post op care together)
3. Nonmaleficence – avoiding things that may cause harm
4. Fidelity – keeping the nurses promise to give care
5. Veracity – telling the truth (telling the truth when one makes an error)
6. Justice – ensuring the equal and fair treatment of all patients (If someone lies about an error)
