Course Sample:
This course meets the portion of continuing education (CE) which meets the requirement for education directly related to Ohio nursing law and rules (Chapter 4723 of the Ohio Revised Code and the Ohio Administrative Code). Introduction Unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) are providing care in a growing number of health care facilities as the need for accessible, affordable, quality health care increases. Nurses are qualified to promote health for their patients because of their nursing education and experience. Nurses need to be involved in making health care policies and decisions about the delivery of nursing care. Therefore nurses must take responsibility of delegation of nursing tasks to others. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing has written a position paper that clarifies the position and responsibility of Boards of Nursing specifically as related to the issue of delegation by nurses of nursing tasks to unlicensed persons. This course will explore the concept delegation and clarify the responsibilities of the nurse regarding delegation of nursing care of patients to the UAP. (NCSBN, 1995). Scenario Jane is a new RN practicing in an extended care skilled nursing facility, Heavenly Health Care Nursing Home (HHCNH). Jane is one of four registered nurses who are responsible for the care of 50 residents who have varying health care needs. The facility also employs six licensed practical nurses (LPN) and a number of unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) all of whom provide care for the 50 residents 24 hours a day and seven days a week. The director of nursing, Margaret M., has indicated that when Jane RN is in charge she has been clocking in too much overtime on her time card. Margaret states that Jane must delegate more nursing tasks to the UAPs so that Jane can complete her duties in a timely manner. Jane discusses the issue with the other RN on duty and asks what else can the UAP do besides empty bedpans and give residents their morning shower. What is meant by delegation? |
