*DELEGATION MADE EASY* RN, LPN, UAP
Book a session with me (NCLEX tutoring, anxiety, career counseling) at:

Hello everyone!
Delegation is SO important and can be confusing. I found when I was studying through nursing school and for the NCLEX, I had to gather information from so many sources because I found each source lacked information/I wasn't answering delegation questions correctly even though I felt like I was studying the material.
Make sure:
Right task
Right circumstance
Right person
Right direction/communication
Right supervision/evaluation
Something I forgot to mention in the video was UAP's can apply sequential compression devices (I see this question a lot).
Remember, TAPE for RN's:
Teaching
Assessment
Planning
Evaluation
RN's can also:
Administer blood products
Push IV meds
If patient is unstable, do not delegate to UAP (1 day post-op, acute distress, etc.)!!!
