A nurse wants to prepare a patient report utilizing SBAR, which she knows is a systematic method of communication. To ensure the report is thorough, what types of information does she need? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY:

The nurse should include the statement "Delegation permits a designated individual to meet a goal on your behalf" in the teaching. This is because delegation allows the nurse to assign tasks to an AP who has the appropriate skills and knowledge to complete them, while still maintaining accountability for the outcome of the task.
Option A is incorrect because accountability for a delegated task remains with the delegator, not the AP.
Option C is incorrect because discharge teaching activities for clients cannot be delegated to an AP as they require nursing judgment and assessment.

Option D is incorrect because it is important for the nurse to follow up on delegated tasks even if the AP has completed them before to ensure that they have been completed correctly and that the client's needs have been met.

If a charge nurse in an acute care facility receives a client request not to have particular assistive personnel (AP) care for her, the appropriate action for the charge nurse to take is to address the concern with the assigned nurse. This will allow the charge nurse and the assigned nurse to work together to address the client's concerns and ensure that the client receives appropriate care.
Option A is incorrect because documenting the issue on an incident report may be necessary, but it should not be the first action taken.
Option C is incorrect because explaining to the client that the AP was having a bad day does not address the client's concerns or wishes.
Option D is incorrect because notifying the human resources department may be necessary, but it should not be the first action taken.
