Answer to Question 1
Answer: 1
Rationale: The purpose of delegation is to ensure that the right person does the right task. It is important for the nurse manager to manage and not do nursing responsibilities such as triage on a routine basis. It is appropriate for the charge nurse to ask a nursing assistant to obtain vital signs, appropriate for the supervisor to delegate leadership of a task force to a nurse manager, and appropriate for the nurse to delegate setting up a new client room to the nursing assistant.
Answer to Question 2
Answer: 2
Rationale: Delegation does save time and resources if done effectively, which benefits all levels of the organization. All units have time to delegate because delegators explain the task specifics, and then can move on to the next priority task. The delegate not only needs to know what to do, and when it needs to be completed, but also needs to know why the delegator needs the delegate to do it.
