Which of the following is one of the five rights of delegation for CNAs?

• A. Right course
• B. Right person
• C. Right equipment
• D. Right schedule

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is delegating tasks to the right person who has the proper training, scope of practice, and authority to perform it. The best answer is the right person because a task should only be given to someone who is qualified, competent, and legally permitted to do it. This ensures patient safety, appropriate accountability, and that the care provided matches the caregiver’s training.

Five rights of delegation typically include right task, right circumstances, right person, right direction/communication, and right supervision/evaluation. The other choices don’t fit these established rights: there isn’t a standard right course or right schedule, and while having the right equipment or resources matters, those are not the core rights that govern who should perform the task.
