Final Answer : B, Explanation :  When delegating,the nurse should always provide unambiguous and clear directions by describing the task,the desired outcome,and the period within which the task should be completed.Tasks should be delegated to UCPs who are capable,not necessarily to those who are willing.A laissez-faire style of leadership is not a requirement for delegation.The nurse does not necessarily have to supervise the UCP,unless it is required by policy or unless the nurse is unsure of the UCP's ability to perform the task.
