    Explanation
    Formulation of a nursing care plan should not be delegated because it requires the expertise and knowledge of a registered nurse. Nursing care plans involve assessing the patient's condition, identifying their needs, setting goals, and developing interventions to meet those goals. These tasks require critical thinking, clinical judgment, and the ability to prioritize and coordinate care. Delegating this responsibility to unlicensed personnel or individuals without the necessary qualifications can compromise patient safety and the effectiveness of the care plan. Therefore, it is true that the formulation of a nursing care plan should not be delegated.

    To establish priority on ND, use: (Choose all that apply)

    • Maslow

    • Erickson

    • ABCs

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Maslow
    A. ABCs
    Explanation
    Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory that suggests individuals have a set of hierarchical needs that must be met in order to reach their full potential. The ABCs (airway, breathing, circulation) are a set of priorities in emergency medicine, indicating the order in which critical interventions should be performed. Both Maslow and the ABCs are used to establish priority, as they provide frameworks for identifying and addressing the most urgent needs first. Erickson, on the other hand, is a theory of psychosocial development and is not directly related to establishing priority.
