2. Most UAPs do provide quality care with appropriate supervision.
3. Home health aides, although they work more independently than do UAPs in other organizations, are supervised by the home health RN.
4. The amount of education and training of UAPs is highly variable, which has caused some concern about what they are able to do and the effect on the quality of care.

2
Explanation: 1. When the task is delegated, the person doing the delegation transfers the authority to do the task to the person who accepts the delegation.
2. The nurse retains legal and ethical accountability for any work delegated to others. This is an important concept to consider when delegating work.
3. The State Board of Nursing makes the decisions about delegating. The employer cannot change those decisions.
4. The idea of delegation is that the person doing the delegation gives the task to another person who should be able to design a work plan to accomplish the task. The person doing the delegation should not have to manage the task or dictate how to do the work.
