Safe and Effective Care Environment

A nurse is admitting a client, diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), who has ordering issues. Which intervention should the nurse delegate to ancillary staff?

ExplanationThe scope of practice for ancillary staff does not include the manage- ment of client care or the performance of invasion procedures. A client, diagnosed with OCD, who focuses on ordering items may find storing belongings stressful if not done in a particular manner. Facili- tating the client in storing belongings in a fashion that does not pro- duce stress is an intervention that the RN can delegate to the ancillary staff. The other interventions may not be assumed by ancillary staff since they involve some aspect of care management.
