Effective Delegation and Supervision

The hospital facility where Shawn Jones, RN, works has recently begun supplementing unit staffing with unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP). Shawn will be working with three UAPs on his unit and is very concerned about his supervisory role. Shawn discusses the situation with his nurse manager, Carlene Brown, MSN, RN. Carlene explains that Shawn will continue to be accountable for the patient’s initial and intermittent assessments, diagnosis, planning, evaluation, and patient teaching and that the UAP will be used to lessen the amount of direct care Shawn has been providing. Shawn explains that he is concerned that the attempt to decrease the time he spends providing direct care will simultaneously result an increase in supervisory work. Additionally, Shawn is concerned about the diversity among. UAP training programs and is apprehensive about the UAP’s level of knowledge, skills, and understanding of role responsibilities. To put Shawn’s mind at ease, Carlene offers to work with Shawn to create a plan to evaluate the UAP’s readiness for a delegated task. Carlene suggests that Shawn use the delegation process as the framework for the plan and to review the state’s nurse practice act, rules, and regulations.
