Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 2, 3
Taking staff suggestions makes staff members feel valued and important, which is empowering. As the person assigned to provide care, knowing all information regarding the patient will help staff feel more competent, and that leads to empowerment. Using staffing models that are based on empowerment allows the nurse to facilitate empowering policies and procedures.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1, 2, 3, 5
The nurse needs to carefully explain exactly what is to be done and then test for understanding. The nurse tells the person accepting delegation when and from whom to seek help if problems are encountered. The nurse explains any known abnormalities the person accepting the duty might encounter, such as where the patient has a wound, extremity weaknesses, or other known issues. The nurse explains when a job needs to be completed.
