One of the essential roles of a nurse is to delegate tasks appropriately to their colleagues when the situation necessitates it. However, there are myriad nuances in the art of delegation, which can include the nurse’s experience, clinical setting, culture of the work area, and so forth. In this article, we aim to outline ways the nurse can effectively communicate and delegate to coworkers to increase patient safety and improve task efficiency. Relevant definitions are given, and the five rights of delegation are discussed in depth.
