Answer to Question 1

B
The NCSBN delegation decision-making tree consists of: assessment and planning, communication, surveillance and supervision, and evaluation and feedback. While intervention and supervision are important decision-making factors, they are not as vital as these other components as they relate to the delegation of NAP.

Answer to Question 2

B
Through the act of delegation, the nurse is accountable for the actions or inactions of the NAP as well as those of herself. In the situation described above, the nurse is responsible for the actions of the NAP as well as the act of delegation of tasks according to the education and experience level of the NAP.
