Practice Guideline: Assigning, Delegating, Teaching and Supervising in Nursing Practice



Nurses collaborate with unregulated care providers (UCPs), which incudes nursing students that are hired in such roles. Nurses who assign, delegate and teach nursing activities to UCPs remain responsible for ensuring it is done appropriately, providing supervision, and intervening as required. To review the related practice expectations, refer to the revised Practice Guideline.
