NURSING ASSIGNMENT
Introduction
The main purpose of the professional nursing practise is to direct and maintain safe
and clinically competent environment for nursing practise. These nursing standards are
important for the profession of nursing because they help to promote quality and safe clinical
practise (Benner, Tanner & Chelsa, 2009).
Module 1
Delegation can be considered as the multifaceted skill set which mainly begins with
the proper understanding one’s state nurse practice act that in turn outlines the legal
responsibilities of the nurse, authority as well as accountability of the patient care (De
Vleigher et al., 2016). Registered nurses have the responsibility to conduct ongoing reviews
of their practice along with special attention given to delegation. Five important steps of
delegation needs to be followed by every nursing professionals that include consideration of
right task, right circumstances, right person, right directions and communication as well as
right supervision and evaluation (Cagginello et al., 2014). In this case, several scenarios are
provided where the registered nurses has to undertake proper delegation of the tasks so that
patient safety and quality care can be ensured.
 The elderly postoperative patient would be my first priority. She had suffered a fall
and had become unconscious. For this, I might need to make a met call as well as
code blue for her mainly because she had facial surgery.
 The second priority would be to administer the antibiotics to the patient named Mrs.
Chew. Her infusion had tissued as she had missed her antibiotics. I can also delegate
the task to NUM as he can successfully handle the situation as well. Enrolled nurses
cannot do this task, as they are not competent yet.

 I can delegate the task of providing preoperative medication to Mr Esposito. As it is
not stated in the case about the medication that needs to be given to her, I can also
delegate the task to Enrolled nurse.
 Mr. Smith’s visitor had fainted but since she is an outsider, professionals cannot treat
her in the nursing ward. The AIN should stay with her where an ambulance can be
called for her or she should be admitted to the ED where a doctor can attend her.
 I should not prioritize the block toilet scenario and should request the ward clerk to
call for an emergency maintenance request.
 The medication error had occurred one-week age and it had not been addressed at that
time. Therefore, since it is already late, therefore, I can handle this situation after i
have attended all emergencies.

members of the team and would assist people to access health and community
services. He would be communicating important information in the team and ensure
