Prioritization and Delegation in Acute Settings

The provision of nursing care is a challenging but exciting and rewarding experience. Nurses practice in different settings include acute care settings where they provide appropriate services to the patients. These professionals work in multidisciplinary teams typified by interactions between nurses from different specialties. As an active participant in healthcare delivery, the nurse is responsible for making appropriate clinical decisions. These decisions include prioritization and delegation of tasks to members of the healthcare delivery team.
