A nurse is preparing to delegate tasks to an assistive personnel (AP). The nurse should identify which of the following as one of the five rights of delegation?

Choice A reason: Managing knowledge is one of the goals of informatics, as it involves collecting, organizing, analyzing, and sharing data, information, and wisdom in nursing practice.

Choice B reason: Producing clinical pathways is not a definition of informatics, but rather an application of informatics. Clinical pathways are evidence based tools that guide the care of specific patient populations. Informatics can help create, implement, and evaluate clinical pathways.

Choice C reason: Providing a safe place to provide care is not a definition of informatics, but rather an outcome of informatics. Informatics can enhance patient safety by improving communication, documentation, decision support, and error prevention.

Choice D reason: Preventing burnout is not a definition of informatics, but rather a benefit of informatics. Informatics can reduce burnout by streamlining workflows, reducing cognitive load, and increasing satisfaction.

Choice A reason: This statement is correct because planning is the step of the nursing process that involves formulating goals and outcomes for a positive outcome. The nurse and the RN should collaborate with the client and other members of the healthcare team to identify the client's needs, priorities, and preferences, and develop a plan of care that is realistic, measurable, and client centered.
Choice B reason: This statement is incorrect because evaluation is the step of the nursing process that involves measuring the effectiveness of the plan of care and the achievement of the goals and outcomes. The nurse and the RN should compare the actual results with the expected results, and determine if the plan of care needs to be modified, continued, or terminated.
Choice C reason: This statement is incorrect because data collection is the step of the nursing process that involves gathering information about the client's health status, history, and environment. The nurse and the RN should use various sources and methods of data collection, such as interviewing, observing, examining, and reviewing records, and organize and document the data in a systematic and accurate way.
Choice D reason: This statement is incorrect because implementation is the step of the nursing process that involves carrying out the plan of care and providing the interventions. The nurse and the RN should perform the actions that are necessary to achieve the goals and outcomes, such as administering medications, providing education, or coordinating referrals, and document the interventions and the client's response.
