The document discusses strategies for prioritization and delegation in nursing. It outlines the CURE method for prioritization which focuses on critical, urgent, routine, and extra needs. It also discusses assessing outcomes versus tasks and using "why" questions for delegation. Certain activities like those involving unstable patients or clinical judgment cannot be delegated. The document promotes an institution for NCLEX coaching and provides its contact information.
3. ASSESSING OUTCOMES vs.
TASKS
• What is my goal?
• What tasks will lead to the fulfillment of the
goal?
• What problems do I anticipate if I postpone the
task?
• What will happen if the outcome is not
reached?
• What should I do, what can I delegate?
4. DELEGATION
ANA defines delegation as “the transfer of
responsibility for the performance of an activity
from one individual to another while retaining
accountability for the outcome.”
NCSBN defines delegation as “transferring to a
competent individual the authority to perform a
selected nursing task in a selected situation.”
5. DELEGATION WITH “Why”
QUESTIONS
• Who can help me?
• What do I need to do first?
• When does it need to be done?
• What will be the outcome if I do one activity
before another?
6. WHEN DELEGATION IS NOT AN
OPTION
• Unstable patients
• Activities requiring assessment, problem solving,
judgment, evaluation
• Unpredictable outcome
• Invasive procedures, sterile technique, medicine
administration, IV therapy
