Because of the nursing workforce shortage and the continued cost escalation in the health care industry, it is critical that we understand how to manage the â€delegation†aspect of the nursing role in order to fulfill accountability outlined in the RN Scope of Practice. During a busy shift, the RN’s work environment changes, and each situation must be evaluated differently. Keeping this in mind, delegation is difficult, frequently misunderstood, and not used as effectively as it could be. What are the most important factors to consider when delegating? Give an example of a time when you delegated a task and it went as planned or went astray. Did you use your leadership abilities? Please describe your delegation experience and explain why it was successful if it went as planned. What did you learn from your delegation experience if it did not go as planned, and how can you improve your delegation skills? Give at least one example from your readings, and back it up with at least one nursing research (peer reviewed) article. Your response should be 1-2 pages in length, in APA format (no abstracts please), with a title page and a reference page. (All previously assigned materials may be used for additional scholarly references.) The entire article(s) cited must be attached. If you provide a link, it must be live or attached and capable of being opened.
