Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Care of unstable clients should not be delegated to unlicensed assistive personnel or automatically referred but should be retained by the case manager or other qualified personnel. After assessment the client might be referred to the primary care provider.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. The nurse manager is guided by the following decisions when making delegation decisions: stability of the client, competence of the person to whom the task is being delegated, level of decision making and problem solving required, ability of the client for self-care, and the predictability of the outcome of the task. Age, education, and ability for self-care will not help the manager make delegation decisions.
