A nurse is assisting another registered nurse in the intensive care unit who is caring for

related to the problem or issue regarding client care. "Did you check the client's blood
pressure this morning?" is an example of asking. Doing involves demonstrating the
specific task or behavior needed to improve client care. "Would you fetch me the client's
laboratory reports? I'll record the blood pressure," is an example of doing. "How is the
client doing this morning? Let me look at yesterday's blood pressure report," is an
example of supervision.

can apply wet dressings to the client's skin. The UAP should report changes in skin
appearance or if the client complains of discomfort.

2. Understanding the skill set of the delegatee
4. Maintaining an open line of communication with the delegatee
Providing clear direction to the delegatee aids accomplishment of the specified task in
the given time. Understanding the specific skill set and capabilities of the delegatee is a
crucial element in the delegation process. Selecting a delegatee with the specific skill
set for the particular task is more productive than just selecting a competent individual.
Maintaining an open line of communication with the delegatee, without any derogatory
or offensive comments, yields a collaborative and productive work environment.

undermine any long-term working relationship. Creating a working environment is an
