experiences related to prioritization and delegation
The “Five Rights of Delegation” that must be used when assigning care to others are:
- The “right” person
- The “right” task
- The “right” circumstances
- The “right” directions and communication and
- The “right” supervision and evaluation
In other words, the right person must be assigned to the right tasks and jobs under the right circumstances. The nurse who assigns the tasks and jobs must then communicate with and direct the person doing the task or job. The nurse supervises the person and determines whether or not the job was done in the correct, appropriate, safe and competent manner.
