A nurse is assisting with teaching a class about client advocacy. The nurse should include which of the following as an example of client advocacy?

Choice A reason: There are not 4 rights of delegation, but 5 rights of delegation. The 5 rights of delegation are the right task, the right circumstance, the right person, the right direction or communication, and the right supervision or evaluation. The nurse should know and apply these rights when delegating tasks to other members of the health care team.
Choice B reason: The nurse manager is not the only one responsible for delegating nursing tasks during each shift, but the registered nurse (RN) is also responsible for delegating nursing tasks within their scope of practice. The RN should delegate tasks based on the client's needs, the staff's competencies, and the organizational policies. The nurse manager should support and oversee the delegation process, but not assume the sole responsibility for it.
Choice C reason: It is not the duty of the delegate to perform a task without asking questions when it is delegated, but to ask questions or clarify any doubts or concerns before accepting or performing the task. The delegate should communicate effectively with the delegator and ensure that they understand the task, the expected outcome, the time frame, and the resources available. The delegate should also report any problems or issues that arise during or after the task completion.
Choice D reason: I am responsible for ensuring that a delegated task is completed is a correct statement that indicates understanding of delegation. The delegator is accountable for the decision to delegate and the outcome of the task. The delegator should monitor and evaluate the performance and the results of the task, and provide feedback and recognition to the delegate. The delegator should also intervene or take corrective actions if needed.

Choice A: This is the correct answer. A portal is a secure online platform that enables clients to access their health information, communicate with their providers, request appointments, refill prescriptions, and more. This enhances client satisfaction, engagement, and empowerment.
Choice B: This is incorrect. Same day access to client health record is not an advantage of electronic documentation, but a requirement for any documentation system. Clients have the right to access their health information within a reasonable time frame, regardless of whether it is paper-based or electronic.
Choice C: This is incorrect. The increase of duplicate tests performed on client is not an advantage of electronic documentation, but a disadvantage. Duplicate tests can result from poor communication, lack of interoperability, or human error. Electronic documentation can help reduce duplicate tests by facilitating data sharing, standardizing formats, and alerting providers of previous tests.
Choice D: This is incorrect. Decrease in coordination of client care is not an advantage of electronic documentation, but a disadvantage. Coordination of client care is essential for ensuring quality, safety, and continuity of care. Electronic documentation can improve coordination of client care by allowing multiple providers to access and update the same information, enabling real-time collaboration, and providing decision support tools.
