Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

read the question and look at the type of patients. If there is a patient that just needs assistance with feeding or washing then you can delegate. If the patient needs teaching then generally you have to do it as the RN so can't delegate.

examples to delegate

assistance with a bed bath and ambulation

assist with feeding

if to a LPN/LVN

daily dressing change

wound irrigation

not to delegate

Breathing difficulties

Complaining of pain

Teaching medication

Just a few examples of the top of my head
