  • Data analysis focused on identifying patterns in delegation decisions.

    • Main Results:

    • Preliminary findings indicate significant variation in how nurses perceive delegable tasks.
    • Certain high-risk medication administration procedures are consistently viewed as non-delegable.
    • Further analysis is required to fully understand the factors influencing delegation decisions.

    Conclusions:

    • The delegation of medication administration by registered nurses requires careful consideration of patient safety and scope of practice.
