Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B
Choosing a nursing assistant who is competent to perform the delegated duty fulfills the Right Person criteria. Delegation is complete only when the nursing assistant accepts the delegated duty. Responsibility for a delegated duty cannot be transferred. The LPN/LVN charge nurse is responsible for supervision and evaluation. Delegated duties should not necessarily be those that the nurse does not enjoy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The goal for the resident who has been experiencing a medication reaction that states he will have no rash and uncompromised respirations reflects a level 1 priority, a life-threatening situation. The goal for an obese resident who has had a recent knee replacement that states she will ambulate using a walker with the assistance of a staff member is level 2, essential to safety. The remaining options are level 3 priorities, essential to the medical/nursing plan of care.
