Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. Some nurses, especially inexperienced nurses, are not confident in delegating patient care to others and try to provide total care to all patients.
2. Delegating should help to empower the staff, not act as a barrier.
3. While it does take time to provide feedback after delegated tasks are completed, this should not serve as a barrier to delegating the task. Providing feedback should not take as much time as performing the task.
4. There is so much to do in one shift as a nurse, that there is great need to delegate.
