A key advantage that a nurse manager has in terms of delegating is that:
a. Clients receive less attention because too many staff make it difficult to coordinate care.
b. Nurses report less pressure to perform necessary tasks themselves.
c. Administration can predict overtime more accurately.
d. Team skills can be used more effectively.
ANS: D
The use of multilevel healthcare providers enables healthcare organizations and nursing to provide patient-centered care, with a focus on abilities and skills that can be employed to perform "what is needed now." As tasks become more complicated, delegating skills to others enables the nurse to effectively deliver a complex level of care.
