Discussionan assignment refers to the routine care or activities that a nursing professional
performs. Delegation refers to the act of transferring the responsibility of performing the
task from one nursing professional to another. The Texas Board of Nursing states that
nurses must comply with the Standards of Nursing Practice when delegation occurs. This
means when delegating or being delegated to, the nurse must ensure it is within both
parties scope of practice. According to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing
(2016), “Regardless of how the state/jurisdiction defines delegation as compared to
assignment, appropriate delegation allows for the transition of responsibility in a safe and
consistent manner. The licensed nurse transfers the performance of an activity, skill, or
procedure to a delegate. However, the practice pervasive functions of clinical reasoning,
nursing judgment, or critical decision making cannot be delegated.” Therefore, the nurse
does not lose responsibility for the task and the patient receiving the intervention just
because the nurse delegated the task. Barrow and Sharma (2020) state that nurses can use
the five rights of delegation to make a safe decision while delegating a task. The five rights
are the right task, the right circumstance, the right person, the risk supervision, and the
right direction.ReferencesBarrow, J.M., & Sharma, S. (2020). Five Rights of Nursing

CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not
strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so
indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly.
Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read
over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as
necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious
errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10
to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers
with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over
the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise,
large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space

2. between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at
“padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not
fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch
margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to
use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be
hard to follow your argument.
