W4AS2- delegation according to your own state’s Nurse Practice Act.

Watch the Assignment 2 Scenario in this module before continuing. ( The scenario is a nurse asking a medical assistant to remove an IV and discharging the patient. Even though in the state of Florida MA’s are allowed
to remove IV’s. in my practice because we
administer chemotherapy nursing assistants are not allowed to remove iv’s. the
iv site needs to be assessed and some TX have different ways to flush the lines,
sometimes we are to not flush the lines sometimes we do. Also we have to be the ones discharging our
patients due to having to assess them and give proper instructions depending on
the pt’s state and which medication they received. )

Now, analyze the scenario related to delegation according to your own state’s Nurse Practice Act. Then, compare it to one other state’s Nurse Practice Act. Use citations from the professional nursing literature and your state’s Nurse Practice Act, or scope of practice documents as resources. Include your state’s definition of delegation in your introductory paragraph and the comparison state’s definition in the body of the paper.

According to your state’s definition of delegation, was the nurse able to delegate this task to the nursing assistant? Why or why not? Compare and contrast this scenario with another delegation scenario from your nursing practice.
