Module1
1: In order of priority, identify which tasks you yourself will undertake and which tasks
you will delegate
I think the highest priority should be given to the patients who have fallen down after the post
operation and the visitor who has fainted on the floor of Mr. Smith. This should be taken care of
by the nurse in charge. I think after that comes the case of Mrs. Chew and the Mrs. Chew the
nursing assistant as the person is senior and has experience than the enrolled nurse should be sent
to the deal with intravenous IV problems of Mrs. Chew (Broyles, 2006). In my opinion, The
enrolled nurse should be given proper instruction about the antibiotics that MR Espasito will
have and is to be sent to Mr. Espasito. The word clerk will be delegated the responsibility of

enrolled nurse who is still the novice and an Assistant of nursing. This is a very tricky and
complex situation the nurse has to stay calm and t analyze the situation properly before making
the decisions (Buttigieg, Rathert & Eiff, 2015). Since the nurse is taking charge she has to
delegate the work as per the strength of the human resources. The nursing assistant will take care
of Mrs. Chews intravenous IV infusion as it can cause serious damage to the physiology of the
patient. Mrs chew is also running late on the antibiotics she will take care of that because the
proper medication is very much essential for the patient.
Nursing care of Mrs. Chew will be done after the delegation of the work to the other human
resources present. The enrolled nurse will be delegated the duty to go and look after Mr,s Smith
visitor and she will be instructed to check the vital statistics and the patient should be admitted to
the emergency as soon as possible with the highest priority. After that, the enrolled nurse will be
