Explanation: 1. Key behaviors in delegating tasks are describing the task and providing the delegate with the
benefit gained for the task. Not having enough time is incorrect because delegating should be
done for the right reasons and not to dump tasks for purely personal reasons. Having the
lightest assignment is incorrect because the delegate should be assigned because the task meets
the abilities of the individual. Only stating the charge nurse would like the nurse to go is
incorrect because the delegator should make the delegate aware of the reason for and the
benefit gained from the delegation.
