1. You are a member of a team assigned to care for 15 general medical/surgical clients. You
have all worked well together in the past in this same type of care. If you are assigned to
coordinate this team's work, your best strategy, based on the Hersey model, would be to:
a. have a list of tasks to be accomplished and tell each member of the team what he or she
must do.
b. encourage people to discuss their frustrations in providing this care.
c. ignore them—they've done it before.
d. provide minimal direction and let them come to you with questions.
→ ANS: D
→ According to the Hersey model, when ability (skills, job knowledge) and willingness are
strong, the role of the delegator is less ("delegating behavior").
2. The charge nurse is making patient assignments for the next shift on the unit. There is one
critical patient on the unit, who is going to require more care than the other patients. Before
delegating this patient in an assignment, what is the appropriate action by the charge nurse?
a. Delegate the admission assessment to the LPN.
b. Review the employee's performance assessment for the most recent period.
c. Assess the amount of guidance and support needed for the nursing care of the
d. Create a task analysis of critical behaviors for the individual.
→ ANS: C
→ To delegate effectively, the charge nurse must assess the abilities required in the
situation and the abilities that staff have to anticipate the amount of direction,
monitoring, explanation, and independence that can be assumed.
3. A key advantage that a charge nurse has in terms of delegating is that:
a. clients receive less attention because too many staff make it difficult to coordinate care.
b. nurses report less pressure to perform necessary tasks themselves.
c. administration can predict overtime more accurately.
d. team skills can be used more effectively.
→ ANS: D
→ The use of multilevel healthcare providers enables healthcare organizations and
nursing to provide patient-centered care, with a focus on abilities and skills that can be
employed to perform "what is needed now." As tasks become more complicated,
delegating skills to others enables the nurse to effectively deliver a complex level of
care.
4. The nurse on the 7-7 shift is assigning a specific component of care to an unlicensed nursing
personnel (UNP) employee. The night nurse would remain:
a. accountable.
b. responsible.
c. authoritative and liable.
