Chapter 01: Overview of Professional Nursing Concepts for Medical-Surgical Nursing
Ignatavicius: Medical-Surgical Nursing, 10th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
9. A nurse working on a cardiac unit delegated taking vital signs to an experienced assistive
personnel (AP). Four hours later, the nurse notes that the client’s blood pressure taken by the
AP was much higher than previous readings, and the client’s mental status has changed. What
action by the nurse would most likely have prevented this negative outcome? a.Determining if
the AP knew how to take blood pressure
Double-checking the AP by taking another blood pressure
Providing more appropriate supervision of the AP
Taking the blood pressure instead of delegating the task
ANS: C
Supervision is one of the five rights of delegation and includes directing, evaluating, and
following up on delegated tasks. The nurse would either have asked the AP about the vital
signs or instructed the AP to report them right away. An experienced AP would know how to
take vital signs and the nurse would not have to assess this at this point. Double-checking the
work defeats the purpose of delegation. Vital signs are within the scope of practice for a AP
and are permissible to delegate. The only appropriate answer is that the nurse did not provide
adequate instruction to the AP.
DIF: Analyzing TOP: Integrated Process: Communication and Documentation
KEY: Teamwork and collaboration, Delegation

A newly graduated nurse in the hospital states that because of being so new, participation in
