The "Five Rights of Delegation" provide a framework to ensure safe and effective delegation:
1. Right Task: Is the task appropriate for delegation? 2. Right Circumstances: Are the patient’s needs and situation suitable for delegation? 3. Right Person: Is the delegatee competent to perform the task? 4. Right Direction/Communication: Has clear, concise instructions and expectations been communicated? 5. Right Supervision/Evaluation: Will there be adequate supervision and feedback?
