Before delegating tasks to unlicensed assistive personnel, the nurse should first review the person (UAP) and assess their competency and abilities to perform the delegated tasks. The circumstance should also be evaluated to determine if they are appropriate for delegation. Then, the specific task should be reviewed to ensure that it falls within the scope of practice for the UAP. The nurse should provide clear direction and proper communication to the UAP before delegating. Lastly, the nurse should supervise and evaluate the delegated task to ensure that it was performed correctly and safely.
