A registered nurse (RN) who passed their NCLEX-RN exam 5 months ago and is working in a rural
Emergency Department (ED). Their unit is short staffed, and their manager has determined that they are
ready to progress to the charge nurse role, although they are relatively new to the nursing profession.
Today is the first time they have been in the charge nurse role.The nurse arrives on the unit at 6:30 am
and places their belongings in their locker. They walk around the unit to see how things are going. Soon,
the night charge nurse signals to begin shift report. They go to the charge nurse office to receive report.

completing during the first hour? Select all that apply.

o Reconcile a client’s medication prescriptions.
o Assign clients to staff nurses according to acuity.
o Inspect the code cart equipment and supplies.
o Distribute breakfast trays as they arrive on the unit.
o Delegate tasks to unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP).
· Delegating tasks to UAPs for the day is a charge nurse action that should be performed during the first
hour of the shift to make good use of unit personnel resources.
o Identify tasks needed for assignment and delegation.
· The charge nurse should first identify the tasks needed for assignment and delegation during the first
hours of the shift.

shift to ensure that emergency equipment is available and functional on the unit.
