The National Council State boards of Nursing/American Nurses Association (NCSBN/ANA) document
https://www.ncsbn.org/Delegation_joint_statement_NCSBN-ANA.pdf lists the right task, circumstances, person, direction/communication, and supervision/evaluation as the five rights of delegation. The LP/VN did not delegate the right task and should have caught this by reading the client's history and performing an assessment of the client. The LP/VN should have stopped the delegation at the first step of the process. The right circumstances did not exist because the client has a history of urinary strictures, and may need a special catheter or if any resistance is noted while attempting the catheterization, the procedure should be stopped and the ordering physician notified. The right person was not considered properly because the client needed someone with experience and the LP/VN delegated the task to an NA who had not performed the procedure on a client and only had practiced it in the lab on a mannequin. The nurse should always provide directions for a delegation and at what point the NA should ask for help. The LP/VN did supervise and evaluate the situation, but by missing the other stopping points, the consequences of the delegation were unfavorable for the client.
