Answer to Question 1

B
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN 2004) reminds us that the potential for consequences and likely effects must be considered when delegating patient care. The five factors noted above should be contemplated before delegating care. While supervision also takes into account these important factors, they are not prerequisites before supervision can take place.

Answer to Question 2

D
According to the NCSBN (1996), competence is defined as the ability to apply knowledge and interpersonal decision making, and psychomotor skills expected for the practice of public health safety and welfare. It concerns the ethical and safe practice in a designated role and a specific setting according to state laws and regulations.
