— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
委任（Delegation）的核心概念是：護理師可委任執行權（Responsibility），但無法委任責任（Accountability）。無論指派給誰，護理師仍需對病人的最終護理結果負法律與專業上的完全責任，因此必須確實監督與追蹤執行狀況。
While responsibility for tasks can be delegated, accountability for the client's outcomes remains with the registered nurse. The delegating nurse must supervise the task and ensure it is performed correctly, as legal and professional liability cannot be transferred.
