An appropriate use of delegation is having the charge nurse lead a nursing quality assurance task force. Other options involve direct care or disciplinary actions, which are not typically delegated by the nurse manager.
The nurse manager can appropriately use delegation by having the charge nurse lead a nursing quality assurance task force. Delegation involves the nurse manager transferring the responsibility for certain tasks to the charge nurse while retaining accountability for the outcomes.
Instructing the charge nurse to assume a client team or evaluating all unlicensed personnel are direct care activities that are often not delegated because they are inherent responsibilities of the nurse manager. However, the nurse manager would not delegate disciplinary actions, as this often involves organizational policies and administrative decision making that are beyond the scope of delegation.
