A nurse is planning to use research and scientific data to improve client care. Which of the following processes is the nurse planning to use?

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 reason: This statement is incorrect because a nurse cannot access the records of any client in the healthcare facility, unless they have a legitimate need to do so. Accessing the records of clients who are not under their care is a violation of the client's privacy and confidentiality, and may result in legal or disciplinary actions.
Choice B reason: This statement is correct because a nurse can only access the records of clients they are actively caring for, as part of their professional duty and responsibility. Accessing the records of clients they are caring for is necessary to provide safe and effective care, and to communicate with other members of the healthcare team.
Choice C reason: This statement is incorrect because a nurse cannot share information from the client’s medical record with immediate family members, unless the client has given consent, or the disclosure is authorized by law. Sharing information from the client's medical record with family members without the client's permission is a breach of the client's privacy and confidentiality, and may cause harm or distress to the client or the family.
Choice D reason: This statement is incorrect because a nurse cannot share information about a client with clients who have a similar diagnosis, unless the client has given consent or the disclosure is authorized by law. Sharing information about a client with other clients without the client's permission is a breach of the client's privacy and confidentiality, and may compromise the client's dignity or safety.
