The Right Supervision/Evaluation component of the Five Rights of Nursing Delegation entails:

1. Monitoring the outcome and performance

2. Providing diagnosis

3. Writing prescriptions

4. Conducting meetings

The correct answer is: Monitoring the outcome and performance

The correct answer highlights that the Right Supervision/Evaluation component of the Five Rights of Nursing Delegation is fundamentally about monitoring both the outcome and the performance of delegated tasks. In the context of nursing delegation, effective supervision ensures that tasks are completed safely and correctly, and it allows for assessment of the competency of the person to whom the tasks have been delegated. By closely overseeing the performance, nurses can provide guidance, correct any mistakes, and ensure that patient care standards are maintained. The other options do not align with this component of delegation. Providing diagnosis and writing prescriptions are tasks that typically fall within the scope of practice for licensed nurses but not part of the delegation process when it comes to supervision. Conducting meetings does not pertain directly to the monitoring aspect of delegated tasks and is not relevant to evaluating performance or outcomes associated with delegated nursing care. Therefore, the focus on monitoring in the correct answer captures the essence of the Right Supervision/Evaluation in nursing delegation.
