Answer to Question 1

A
According to the ANA (2005), the act of delegation involves the transfer of responsibility for the
performance of actions while the accountability for the outcomes remains with the delegator; it does
not shift to the person performing the task. The nurse retains the accountability for the delegation.
Delegation is a legal and management concept and process involving the four-step process of
assessment, planning, intervention, and evaluation. Action, while important and a means of
accomplishing the task goals, is not a part of this four-step process.
