Answer to Question 1

A
An important part of leadership is delegation. It is important to delegate appropriately to safely provide client care by determining which personnel have the knowledge and skills to care for the client, and then assign the tasks to the appropriate person. The manager must determine the mix of personnel required to deliver care on a unit before being able to delegate tasks to individuals.

Answer to Question 2

D
Suctioning a new tracheostomy requires sterile technique, which cannot be delegated to a certified nursing assistant (CNA). Suctioning an endotracheal tube requires sterile technique, which cannot be delegated to a CNA. Deep (laryngopharyngeal) suctioning requires a nurse, owing to the risk of the procedure and complexity of care. The CNA would be capable of performing oral suctioning or assisting a patient to suction his own mouth.
