What are the five rights of delegation?

The five rights of delegation are right task, right circumstance, right person, right direction and communication, and right supervision and evaluation. Right task means the task is appropriate to delegate for this specific patient. Right circumstance means the patient is stable and the setting is appropriate. Right person means the delegate has the training and competency. Right direction means clear, concise instructions are given including what to report. Right supervision means the nurse monitors the outcome and provides feedback.
