In nursing, one is expected to be accountable and responsible for one's own actions. This is also true for anyone the nurse delegates a task to.

Temporary Reassignment Patient reassignment is the temporary change in the employee's assignment in the sense that he or she holds a position that has a higher salary or responsibility for a short period.
