Going beyond a Nurses Duties

In this paper am going to analysis the details roles and responsibilities of nursing in health care set-up. I will specifically explore their roles as problem solvers, patient advocators, delegators and also a collaborator. These roles give a hint of job details of nurses in health care set up, so allow me to now go into details in the following section. Literature For several years now advocacy has been a topic of interest in the nursing field. It is important to recognize the fact that advocacy has taken an important place in duties which are rendered by nurses despite the fact its application being limited in practice. However, there are certain conditions that have to be met before a nurse delegate a task.

Normally a nurse has to consider the following before delegating any task: are there suitable resources and equipment available to facilitate the process required, does the delegate possess the required knowledge and skill needed, and finally does the environment in consideration offer optimum conditions to enable the process? Suppose these conditions are sufficiently meet tend a nurse has the “right” to delegate otherwise delegation can have legal consequence (Barrow & Sharma, 2018). It is important to note that patients who may show signs of becoming unstable or those who not stable are not good for this purpose. A good example of delegation is a scenario where a doctor in charge of a patient appoints his or her colleague who is also licensed to take of their patient at some point.
