Nursing delegation flow chart 2026

1. Click ‘Get Form’ to open the nursing delegation flow chart in the editor.
2. Begin by assessing the client's nursing care needs. If the RN has not performed an assessment, indicate 'NO' and proceed to perform the assessment.
3. Evaluate whether the task is one that a reasonable and prudent nurse would delegate. Mark 'YES' or 'NO' accordingly.
4. Determine if the task can be safely performed by an unlicensed assistive person (UAP). If not, select 'NO' and reconsider delegation.
5. Check if the UAP can perform the task without exercising professional nursing judgment. Again, mark 'YES' or 'NO'.
6. Ensure that the UAP has been adequately identified. If not, select 'NO' and provide necessary identification.
7. Confirm whether the RN has instructed or verified the UAP’s competency. If this is not done, select 'NO' and provide instruction or verification.
8. Assess if periodic evaluation of delegation by the RN is possible. Mark 'YES' or 'NO'.
9. Finally, ensure adequate RN supervision based on client stability, UAP competency, nature of delegated tasks, and proximity of RN to UAP.
