Question

Sheila Helland · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Assignment is the action taken when the patient or interventions are within a nurse's scope of practice.The experienced nurse is capable of taking on this patient assignment.Delegation is transferring the responsibility to perform a function or intervention to someone who would not otherwise have the authority to perform it (i.e. ,the function or intervention is not within the scope of practice or scope of employment of the care provider to whom the care is being delegated).This is not an example of evaluation or supervision.
