Nonlicensed staff members (unlicensed assistive personnel [UAP]) have asked for a meeting with the nurse manager as they are unhappy with how one of the nursing staff (registered nurse [RN]) has been delegating tasks with regard to patient care. Which statement, if made by a nonlicensed staff member, would indicate that additional instruction is needed for the nursing staff with regard to effective delegation principles?

1 “The RN told me that I couldn’t obtain a urine specimen from a patient.”

2 “I was told by the RN that I had to wait until the order was written in the patient’s chart before I could act on it.”

3 “The RN told me that I should wait until after lunch before I gave the patient AM care as the patient had just been medicated for pain.”

4 “The RN told me that I had to change all of the bed linen for the patients before I went home at the end of the shift.”
