performed the axillary temperature, indicating a deviation from the right task.
B. Right communication involves clear and effective communication between the nurse and the assistive personnel but is not directly related to the task performed.
C. Right person involves ensuring that the task is delegated to a competent and qualified

individual. The issue in this scenario is with the task itself, not the competency of the individual.
