When is it appropriate for the nurse aide to accept a delegated task?
- A.When the task is outside the aide's scope but help is short
- B.When the aide has not been trained but the task looks simple
- C.When the aide has been trained, understands the task, and it is within scope
- D.When a family member requests the task even if the nurse did not
Correct answer
C. When the aide has been trained, understands the task, and it is within scope
Why
Acceptance requires training, understanding of instructions, and a task within the aide's scope of practice under supervision. Short staffing, simplicity, or a family request does not expand the aide's scope.
