    The nurse manager delegated staffing responsibilities, including finding replacements for sick calls, to the unit clerk due to a sudden influx of clients in active labor. However, this was not an appropriate delegation as staffing is the responsibility of the nurse manager, not the unit clerk. The unit clerk's responsibilities are managing patient records and preparing paperwork, not staffing. The nurse manager did not properly assess the unit clerk's abilities before delegation and delegated tasks beyond their role.

    Worksheet 3:
    DELEGATION

    CASE STUDY
    As a nurse manager on the Labor, Delivery, Recovery and Postpartum Unit (LDRP), you have
    decided to gave the unit clerk responsibility for the unit's staffing, including finding
    replacements for sick calls because of a sudden influx of clients in active labor.

    INSTRUCTIONS:
    After you read the case study, kindly answer the following questions briefly and direct to
    the point:

    1. Identify the steps of the delegation process?


    As previously discussed, the steps in the delegation process are as follows: selecting the
    appropriate task, selecting the appropriate person, establishing clear objectives, and
    implementing, monitoring, evaluating, or reviewing the performance.

    2. Differentiate the concepts of responsibility, accountability and authority?

    Authority is the power delegated by senior executives to assign responsibilities to all


    employees in order to improve their performance while the Responsibility is the obligation to
    complete a given task. Accountability makes a person responsible for his or her work based on
    their position, abilities, and strengths. Delegating responsibility is possible. It is possible to share
    responsibility, but not to delegate it.

    3. Explain the type of delegation that the nurse manager used in this
    situation?
    The type of delegation used by the nurse manager based on the case scenario was informal
    delegation due to the occurrence of an informal delegation under the given circumstances.
    This is a perfect example of a situation in which a person may perform a task not because it is
    their obligation, but because it is necessary for them to do their job.
    4. Discuss whether the supervision was appropriate to the task by the
    nurse manager?
    The unit clerk is not responsible for staffing the unit, including finding replacements for sick
    calls in response to a sudden influx of clients in active labor, because, as discussed
    previously, staffing is primarily the responsibility of the nurse managers. Given that these
    responsibilities are too much for the on-duty unit clerk, it is possible that this is an instance
    of excessive delegation. They are only responsible for managing patient records and
    preparing paperwork for their colleagues.

    5. Did the nurse manager delegate appropriately to the unit clerk's abilities?
    Why or why not?
    The nurse manager did not delegate tasks commensurate with the capabilities of the unit
    clerk. As I recall from our discussion, prior to delegating a task, it is necessary to know what
    to delegate as well as their abilities, strengths and weaknesses. However, as far as the unit
    clerk's responsibilities go, it is not their responsibility to do staffing.
