True or False: Nurses in the temporary class may delegate or accept delegation.

• A. They cannot delegate or accept delegation.
• B. They may delegate but cannot accept delegation.
• C. They may accept delegation but cannot delegate.
• D. They may delegate or accept delegation with supervision.

Answer: (A)

Delegation is about transferring responsibility for a nursing task to someone else while maintaining accountability. A temporary class nurse typically has a restricted scope of practice and must work under direct supervision of a licensed nurse. Because they do not have the authority to assign tasks or to take on responsibilities that require nursing judgment, they cannot delegate tasks to others, nor can they accept delegated tasks from someone else. In short, they cannot delegate or accept delegation, even with supervision.
