委派（Delegation）任務時，護理師雖然可以將執行面交由他人（如 UAP、LPN），但護理師仍保有對照護成效的「法律責任（Accountability）」。護理師必須負責監督委派任務的執行品質、確保執行者具備相應能力，並評估最終結果。委派並不等於免除責任，這是護理師在職權分配中必須認知的核心原則。
When a task is delegated, the nurse may transfer the execution of the task to another person (such as a UAP or LPN), but the nurse retains legal accountability for the outcome of care. The nurse is responsible for supervising the quality with which the delegated task is performed, ensuring that the person performing it has the required competence, and evaluating the final result. Delegation does not equate to relinquishing responsibility; this is a core principle of role distribution that every nurse must understand.
