When a registered nurse (RN) decides to delegate care to unlicensed personnel, what should the RN take into consideration when delegating care?

Amount of support from RN
Complexity of nursing tasks
Amount of time the staff member will need to complete care
Capability of the staff member to perform assessments

Explanation

Answer: B - The RN needs to take the complexity of the nursing tasks into consideration when delegating care to unlicensed personnel. The nurse would need to consider the amount of education, skill, knowledge and judgment of the unlicensed staff. The nurse would not consider the amount of support, but rather the amount of supervision that the staff member would need.
