Did you check with the ANA? Some textbooks will also be able to give information. If you review some RN tests or some LPN to ASN text.
Authority to delegate varies from state to state, therefore I would recommend checking with your state board to read their guidelines. Louisiana has a great diagram illustrating the "Decision Tree" for delegating to LPN's. You can see it at: http://www.lsbn.state.la.us/Portals/1/Documents/DelegationTree.pdf
National Council of State Boards of Nursing defines delegation as “transferring to a
competent individual the authority to perform a selected nursing task in a selected
situation. The nurse retains accountability for the delegation.”
ANA position statement “RN Utilization of UAP.” Defines delegation as “the transfer of responsibility for the performance of an activity from one person to another while retaining accountability for the outcomes.”
The ANA further defines delegation categories. Direct delegation is defined as “a specific, usually verbal, direction from the delegator for another person to perform task/activity in specific nursing care situation.” Indirect delegation involves using a list of tasks and activities that have been approved by the healthcare facility.
I agree with the previous answers. It varies from state to state. Some states do not have LPN. Some states have IV certified, while some states do not allow LPN to do anything with IV. LPN cannot finalize anything in the nursing process, they can contribute to it but not finalize. All initial assessments: Admission, post op etc has to be done by RN. NCBNS website has more information, and your local Board of nursing. Good luck.
The National Council on the State Boards of Nursing (organization that represents all 50 US state boards of nursing) provides access their consensus statement on their website
ANA offers 2 resources to help with this: Delegation and You "provides an explanation of principles" and practice strategies for delegating to UAP, and includes a criteria-based process and flowchart to help; 2013 Principles of Delegation is a background resource. Both available at www.NurseBooks.org/Main-Menu/ANA-You-Series/Delegation-and-You.aspx.
I also agree with the previous answers. Sometimes it will be very difficult to make consensus about what skills are possibly to delegate. As the one how have the rights to do this delegations I have to been very carefully when I delegated. In the end the responsibilities for the outcomes are those how delegated. "Rights to do" something is not the some as "I can" or "I have done it before". The rights for "to do " might differ from organisation to organisation in the same land.
