The only advice I can offer is what we just learned in Kaplan. When it comes to delegation, an RN can never delegate teaching or assessment and a CNA can only do "standard, unchanging procedures" like AM care. The main thing they taught us is that the nurse can never delegate assessment or teaching. Hope this helps.

If kaplan taught you the above, they are teaching you to fail:uhoh21: An RN does delegate,teach and assess. A LPN and a CNA can not. Only stable patients goes to the LPN and CNA.
my friend just took boards in nevada and passed she said her was delagation and pharmacology.. i am waiting to take my boards.... i get mixed up easliy on prioritizing... i always narrow it down to 2 patients ,, do the ABC and most of the time the patients don't fit that critera.. then what do i do...??? any suggestions?

i think what ckh23 meant was that an RN cannot delegate a patient/client that requires teaching and or assessment. Unlike Saunders, Kaplan has a lot of delegation and priority questions so that's the only advice i can give ya.
I have been using a book called "Prioritization, Delegation & Assignment"(ISBN# 139780323044073). I take my boards tomorrow and all the questions in the book are on prioritizing and delegation. I did the whole book. I am thinking it is a must have for the NCLEX-RN boards but I will let you know after tmorrow.
You can get it on Amazon for about $25 new....I will be selling mine IF I pass tomorrow (will know on Monday), probably for $17.

I second this, everyone should complete this book before nclex - well worth the money!

I am trying to prepare for NCLEX, and I am hearing that delegation is a large focus right now. Mosby CAT doesn't cover it at all. I have Saunder's and Mosby books and CD's. Is there any other source specifically for delegation type questions? After using my CD's a few times, there isn't a challenge to figure out the answers!
