    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Practice
    • Healthcare Management
    • Clinical Decision-Making

    Background:

    • Delegation of nursing care to ancillary staff is a critical aspect of modern nursing practice.
    • Current educational and clinical experiences inadequately prepare registered nurses for effective delegation decision-making.
    • A gap exists in equipping nurses with the skills for safe and appropriate task delegation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a tool designed to enhance registered nurses' delegation decision-making skills.
    • To provide a structured method for analyzing nursing tasks and patient complexities in delegation scenarios.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of the Nursing Assessment Decision Grid (N-ADG) tool.
    • Utilizing patient vignettes to simulate real-world delegation scenarios.
    • Training registered nurses to analyze nursing tasks and patient problems using the N-ADG.

    Main Results:

    • The N-ADG facilitates the analysis of nursing tasks and patient problems.
    • Registered nurses can utilize the grid to determine the appropriate skill level for task delegation.
    • The tool aids in gauging which level of nursing personnel can safely execute required patient care.

    Conclusions:

    • The Nursing Assessment Decision Grid is a valuable tool for improving delegation decision-making among registered nurses.
    • Implementation of the N-ADG can enhance the safety and efficiency of nursing care delegation.
    • Further integration of such tools into nursing education and practice is recommended.
