The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) developed a Delegation Decision-Making Tree as a means of providing consistent guidelines for nursing delegation of staff. The NCSBN Delegation Decision-Making Tree consists of four steps: 1) assessment of the patient, staff, and situational context, and planning of the delegation based upon the patient's needs and resources available (not planning of the context based on the delegation needs); 2) communication with the delegate to provide direction and opportunities for interaction while the task is being completed; 3) surveillance, supervision, and monitoring of the delegation to assure compliance with standards of practice, policy, and procedures; and 4) evaluation and feedback to consider the effectiveness of the delegation.
