Which right of delegation is followed when the nurse considers the qualifications of the UNP before delegating a task?

The correct answer focuses on the concept of the "Person" right of delegation, which emphasizes the nurse's responsibility to assess whether the unlicensed nursing personnel (UNP) possesses the appropriate qualifications and competencies to perform the delegated task safely and effectively.

In delegation, it is essential for the nurse to evaluate the experience, skills, and training of the UNP before assigning any duties. This assessment ensures that the task can be performed within the scope of practice of the UNP and aligns with their competencies. By considering these qualifications, the nurse ensures patient safety and the quality of care, which is a foundational principle in nursing practice.

The other aspects of delegation, such as the "Task," "Direction," and "Supervision," while important, do not specifically pertain to evaluating the qualifications of the person to whom a task is being delegated. The "Task" aspect involves understanding what tasks can be delegated, while "Direction" relates to the instructions provided for performing the task. "Supervision" refers to the oversight of the performance of the delegated task, ensuring that it is carried out correctly. However, these do not directly address the initial assessment of the delegatee’s qualifications, which is critical in the delegation process.
