A nurse is providing instructions to a client about the Press Ganey survey. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding?

A. This task is generally appropriate for an assistive personnel (AP) if it is within their scope of practice and if proper training has been provided. Glucometer monitoring is a routine task that APs can often perform, assuming they are trained in using the glucometer and understanding the importance of accurate readings.

B. Assigning two APs to ambulate all clients might be seen as overdelegation if the task requires more clinical judgment or if there are other tasks that need to be managed concurrently. Ambulating clients can sometimes be complex depending on their condition, and it’s essential to ensure that APs are appropriately trained and that the workload is balanced.
C. Assigning a new graduate nurse to perform a wet-to-dry dressing change could be considered overdelegation if the task requires advanced skills and experience that the new graduate might not yet possess. Wet-to-dry dressing changes can be complex and require a certain level of expertise to ensure proper technique and patient safety.
D. This task is typically appropriate for an RN with the necessary competencies and experience. A central line dressing change requires specific skills and knowledge, and delegating this task to the most competent RN ensures that it is performed correctly and safely. This is not considered overdelegation because it matches the task to the skill level of the RN.

A. This is not a time management strategy but rather a counterproductive approach that can lead to burnout and decreased focus.
B. This is an effective time management strategy as it acknowledges the reality of interruptions in a healthcare setting. By anticipating and planning for disruptions, nurses can better manage their workload and avoid feeling overwhelmed.
C. While helping colleagues is important, offering to complete another nurse's task without considering one's own workload can lead to time management issues.
D. This can be a time management strategy in some situations, but it's not always the most effective approach. Prioritizing tasks based on urgency and importance is often more beneficial.
