When a person who was assigned a task and did not understand it, this would be a potential cause of a performance inadequacy. A principle of delegation, the person to whom the task is assigned, should verify that they understand and can perform the task. If the person is capable, has appropriate educational qualifications, and the nurse has confirmed that they are able to per-form the task, then there should not be performance inadequacy.
