D. The degree of supervision that the AP will require to complete the task


Rationales....


Successful delegation involves assigning the right task to the right person under the
right circumstances. The person who will perform the task must be given adequate
direction & specification regarding the amount of supervision that will be provided. The
right communication of expectations & the right feedback about performance must also
be supplied.

the scope of practice & job descriptions for APs

provider"
D." It is only valid when a pt is lucid & able to make informed decisions
independently"
B. It allows the pt to express personal wishes regarding health care decisions


Rationales...
A living will allows the pt to specify what aspects of care & tx are to be accepted /
refused in the event that the pt can no longer communicate those decisions


A. this described a health care proxy document, which frequently accompanies a living
will but is not considered a part of it


C. A living will does not serve the same function as informed consent. Prior to any

,C. Inform the employee in writing about the facilities employment policy
D. ask the employee for a written action plan after discussing the reasons for

employee will read & fully understand the employment standards

infraction. If the employee fails to make a positive behavioral change after being

should use to correct unacceptable behaviors over time
